Contained Wild – CITY OF RENENS 2024 ENCOURAGEMENT PRIZE
22.11–15.12.2024
La Ferme des Tilleuls, Renens

The Prix d'encouragement 2024 de la Ville de Renens was awarded to two emerging talents from ECAL: Takumi Ise , a student in the Master of Product Design program, and Cedric Zellweger , a student in the Bachelor of Photography program.

Inspired by the rural roots of La Ferme des Tilleuls, the artistic duo propose an exhibition that blurs the lines between human and animal, encouraging us to rethink the ties that bind us. With a touch of humor and a critical eye, the creations presented highlight the often disconcerting interactions between our respective worlds. Through objects and photographs, the exhibition questions the artificial transformation of natural elements, recalling our common origin: nature. By hijacking man-made materials and systems, the exhibition reveals the hidden tensions in our lives.
