Utopia is invisible; only utopians can see it. A class of 12 students
from the Photography Master at the ECAL/University of Art and Design of
Lausanne, in residence at Casa Corti in Pellio, Val d’Intelvi (Italy),
elaborated the concepts of utopia and community. Identifying the malaise
of a generation trapped in social networks, confused between reality
and the virtual sphere, and in need of establishing new values, the
group developed a range of different strategies: morning meditation
sessions, walks to Monte Generoso, shared meals and discussions to
produce photographs and videos which, while gradually shifting away from
reality, reach imaginary dimensions that oscillate between utopia and
dystopia, figuration and abstraction.
