FINE ARTS

Celia Cusanno – Waiting for the White Rabbit

by Celia Cusanno

Time is taken to meticulously cover forms and materials. Gluing, peeling, folding, pasting, cutting, stamping, heating, and cooling until they border on uselessness. Freed from their original purpose, they come to exist without seeking to satisfy. Through an act of care, a way of tending to forms and materials, the work strives to hold them on a threshold that stretches out. They then escape the general flow and slow down until they come to a standstill. They remain there, far from the clamor of expectations. Between momentum and restraint, openness and withdrawal, they breathe. Later, perhaps some of them will leave. Or perhaps not.

Livia de Goumoëns – A Horse collection from or for Vanessa Rossetto / A Sound recollection

by Livia de Goumoëns

A Horse collection from or for Vanessa Rossetto Six images for and by V. Rossetto: an artist who makes music – or rather, who assembles bits and pieces to create music. This collection is a tribute and a demonstration of my love for her, life, images, sound. A Sound recollection : a selection of 25 sound collages made with my friend M.B., broadcast across five train station platforms. We piece together things we love and things we make. The sound plays every 13 minutes for about a minute. They provide a rhythm and they provide silence. Breaking the rhythm to reveal. And this probably only works when you establish a rhythm. Arrhythmia does not arise from a void but from its presence within a score that excludes it.

Virginie Emonet – That's all folks!

by Virginie Emonet

That's all folks! explores various concepts, such as self-image as a woman, sexist stereotypes, and the influence and strategies of advertising and cinematic imagery. These themes are examined through the figure of Marilyn Monroe, a complex media figure. Her personality is multifaceted, and she embodies both the essence of the society of the spectacle and of Hollywood. The endings of her films are supposed to be happy; however, they ultimately amount to Monroe finding refuge with misogynistic and abusive male characters. By creating new narratives, That's all folks! restores — or rather, redraws — joyful and empowering final scenes for her, moving away from the reductive clichés of her era.

Avril Hélard – I Tell A Fly

by Avril Hélard

I Tell A Fly is an installation in which the idea of the enigma structures the relationships between the works, evoking a latent space where meaning is constantly produced but never fully resolved. Different forms of modular structures connected to scenography, writing, memory, and repetition function as strategies through which a narrative emerges, unfolding through the visitor's movement within the exhibition space.

FINE ARTS

Eloïse Llanca Bolivar – La Llorona / Las chismosas / Cha Cha Gitano

by Eloïse Llanca Bolivar

"I heard the last coin drop into the coin slot of the pay phone, a sound like leaves, like the wind lifting dry leaves, a sound like cables twisting and untwisting, then unraveling into nothingness. Poetic misery. Do you remember that I wanted to tell you something and that in the end I didn't tell you? Her voice sounded perfectly normal. When? I heard myself say stupidly. A long time ago, […]" – Roberto Bolaño, "The Savage Detectives", 1998

Niki Loroch – Marching band

by Niki Loroch

"Heterosexuals can't understand camp because everything they do is camp." – Charles Ludlam, "Ridiculous Theatre: Scourge of Human Folly", 1992 Marching band is a corpus of performative actions deployed and punctually activated within an exhibition space. Conceived as a fanfare and through tropological incarnations, the various characters that compose it mobilize in order to — amongst other things — attempt to ruffle the few tacit contracts that regulate the fields of display. In short: get your handkerchiefs ready.

FINE ARTS

Malou Martinelli – À peine déplacé

by Malou Martinelli

À peine déplacé is an installation composed of a wooden sculpture and a video. It unfolds around a carefully chosen wall, which serves as a spatial and narrative anchor. In an approach that is both intimate and speculative, the installation explores the notion of home — and, more broadly, the built environment — as a place of projection, memory, transformation and unease. The narratives that run through it appear fragmented, sometimes discontinuous, much like the memories that constitute them. The body is constrained within it, put under strain, caught in spaces that oscillate between familiarity and strangeness. From this friction emerge ambiguous, dream-like experiences, where the familiar gradually slips away, creating a sense of diffuse imbalance.

FINE ARTS

Félicie Morel – Rêve, trésor rêve.

by Félicie Morel

Is it perhaps a question mark, or subtle details slipping into these stones? Rêve, trésor rêve. examines the forms that shape the collective imagination from early childhood onwards. Through the attractive power of aesthetics — bright or softened colours, rounded edges, scaled-down proportions, and gentle tones played on broken crockery. Toys often become symbols of contemporary issues. They replay the dynamics that have led past generations into current crises. They offer an innocent form to violence, rendering it acceptable, even normalised, as the heroine of childhood narratives.

Ielyzaveta Okhrimchuk – Marevo

by Ielyzaveta Okhrimchuk

Marevo is a phenomenon in which the air appears to shimmer or dissolve, making perception unstable. In Ukrainian, the word also designates a state of in-between. This is precisely what this project explores: a series of photographs made during the artist's return to Kyiv, their hometown, in March 2026, which documents how people live in a state of permanent suspension — between destruction and daily life, between before and after, between knowing and not knowing. The installation presents two scales of images: smaller photographs showing traces of war, larger ones illustrating how life continues alongside it. Not as opposites, but as two simultaneous realities.

by Romane Persoz

The woman that became « Wife » finds herself hampered by her household and kitchen gloves. The woman that became « Mom » finds herself in a space colonized and invaded by insects with insidious behaviors. The woman finds herself in a refuge until the walls give up under her flow. Home sweet home !!

Kathleen Pickavance – The Mannequin Behind the Curtain

by Kathleen Pickavance

The film The Mannequin Behind the Curtain is presented in a blue satin box with two peepholes. It stages a dimly lit setting in which a mannequin and a person are scrutinised by a moving flashlight. The footage features images of mannequins observed at night through a store window. The piece draws inspiration from a short story by Sadegh Hedayat, in which a man becomes obsessed with a mannequin he cannot stop gazing at.

FINE ARTS

Kathleen Pickavance – La Senteuse

by Kathleen Pickavance

In the film La Senteuse, the artist plays a character who struggles to walk through a field in high heels. In order to reach her desired destination, she carries a long ladder with her, drawing the viewer closer to her body through the lens of an anonymous eye.

FINE ARTS

Nathan Pidoux – Reste

by Nathan Pidoux

Reste does not tell a story. This project presents the traces of a passage, the remains of an action that has already come to an end. Somewhere between waste, relic, and fiction, the forms occupy the space as stubborn presences: awkward, vulnerable, irreducible. The hollow branches imitate wood without possessing its density. They are skins, tubes, simulacra. Their presence oscillates between prop and debris, between construction and collapse. The shoes and the backpack evoke an absent body, an interrupted journey, the possibility of departure or abandonment. In this installation, the exhibition space is envisionned as a site where objects can negotiate with one another. Forms collide, support one another, and occasionally meet.

by Jonas Ruchti

Elephants are afraid of mice.

Armine Salifu – Let it fly!

by Armine Salifu

The oldest European building and first trading post of the Atlantic slave trade built in sub-Saharan Africa is a white fort on the coast of Elmina in Ghana, built in 1482 by the Portuguese and called Saint George's Castle. On a pink background, Let it fly! illustrates a white fort standing on a coast, burning. Next to it, a Dragon spits fire, in celebration with two of its friends. This flag is a retelling of the myth of Saint George and the Dragon. The several techniques and materials used to make this picture, which was slowly stitched together and painted by hand, are fully visible. The back is neither covered nor hidden; it is a part of the narrative, showcasing the complex relationship between the myth and the material reality that inspires it.

FINE ARTS

Arthur Troisfontaine – Piezo

by Arthur Troisfontaine

Piezo is an interactive sound installation activated by the movements of its audience. Hidden beneath a carpet, piezoelectric microphones capture the pressure, vibrations, and motions of visitors. This information is sent to a modular synthesizer, which transforms it into sound material and broadcasts it through four independent sound sources. Conceived as a work that can adapt to different architectural and acoustic contexts, the installation reconfigures itself according to the space in which it is presented. Fully reusable and generating no waste, Piezo offers an experience in which the body becomes simultaneously an interface, an instrument, and a generator of sonic landscapes.
