Maksaens Denis is a Haitian director and video artist who works with the contrasts between the moving images of video and abstract still images, and the collusion between reality and the imaginary. In residence at the Société des Arts Technologiques, Montreal, in 2002 he presented an on-site installation "Nouveaux mondes, mondes nouveaux." The same year, he participated in the second multicultural forum of contemporary art and presented a project of urban sculptures at the Haitian Arts Museum. He has presented his work in Senegal, Mexico, and Dominican Republic. He has made experimental documentaries and videos, including L'arbre de la liberté in November 2004 on the history of Haiti, and E pluribus unum, which won the prize for best art film at the Black Film Festival of Berlin in 2004.
