Four Sisters
is a silent, 77-minute video sequence shot on Toronto's waterfront Gardiner Expressway during a
late afternoon rush-hour commute from east to west and back again. The video looks inland, towards the city centre before turning to look out, towards and across the lake.
A band of text runs through the video, recounting 23 anecdotes in English or French. These incidental narratives look at life in Toronto and Paris, travel, coincidence and minor revelatory moments in the lives of both artists.

In the tradition of silent cinema, Paul will perform a live musical accompaniment to the video.
