From 28 June to 5 November 2023, as part of L'Appartement – Espace Images Vevey, Augustin Lignier, winner of the Images Vevey x ECAL Prize 2022, will exhibit Container, his Master's degree project in Photography.
The Images Vevey x ECAL Prize was created in 2021 and strengthens the collaboration between the two institutions. Its aim is to offer a first exhibition experience to a student graduating from the ECAL's Bachelor's or Master's degree in photography. The winning work is presented in the form of a monographic exhibition by Images Vevey on the occasion of its biennial or in its permanent space.
In the Cinema of L'Appartement, Augustin Lignier, graduated of ECAL's Master of Photography programme, presents Container, his graduation project, which won the Prix Images Vevey x ECAL 2022. The artist built a pristine white cube inside his bedroom and, every day for almost two months, he locked himself inside it. As he repetitively and obsessively triggered the shutter release, he put his body’s limits to the test to experiment with the apparatus. This performative and conceptual approach resulted in Container, a project that questions the alienating relationship between a photographer and their camera.
