Guardare l’utopia

Guardare l’utopia

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. --- Students Emidio Battipaglia Robin Bervini Jasmine Deporta Anja Karolina Furrer Alessia Gunawan Christian Harker Johanna Hullár Philipp Klak Doruk Kumkumoglu Jelly Luise Igor Pjörrt Gedvile Tamosiunaite Curator Milo Keller Assistants Florian Amoser Calum Douglas Graphic Design Nicolas Polli biennaleimmagine.ch https://casacorti.org/

Lóa Fenzy – Remy

by Lóa Fenzy

Remy is a hybrid short film that moves between constructed documentary and durational performance, using casting and rehearsal as both methodology and narrative structure. Starting from the question, “What happens if I hire actors to play my father?”, the film follows eight middle-aged men auditioning for the role of my absent father, before three are invited into increasingly intimate rehearsals and staged encounters. What initially resembles a familiar casting process slowly unfolds into a space where masculinity, authority, tenderness, and care are performed between strangers. Through repetition, direction, improvisation, and emotional negotiation, the film gradually exposes its own construction, blurring the line between sincerity and performance.

Xiao Fu – The Surrogate

Xiao Fu – The Surrogate

by Xiao Fu

The Surrogate is a mixed media project combining video installation and physical imagery. Inspired by the parallels between the controlled reproductive life of the giant panda and Chinese queer experiences of social pressure, these works explore the complexity of identity construction through synthetic images and tactile surfaces. Using a CGI panda as a digital avatar, The Surrogate weaves a narrative that is both absurd and emotional. Bodily materials attempt to physically deconstruct the image of the panda while introducing queer sensations linked to softness, eroticism, and unease that transcend the purely visual experience. Rather than seeking a stable truth about identity, the surrogate body remains in a state of perpetual rendering while maintaining a critical stance.

Elisa Hampe – Through My Hands, Broken into Fingers

by Elisa Hampe

Through My Hands, Broken into Fingers is a photographic series addressing the detachment from reality through screens, from a digitally native perspective. The artist constructed painterly images by capturing objects, bodies, and spaces through photogrammetric scans made with a smartphone, and reassembling them into complex scenes using a 3D software. The resulting images depict exhausted figures suspended in states of waiting and immobility. Through the scanning process, surfaces and textures are transformed: blankets lose their softness and become rigid shells, bodies appear hollow and fragile, and familiar interiors collapse into unstable and claustrophobic environments. Alongside the wall-based images, a sculpture in printed aluminium reintroduces the mediated body back into physical space.

Binyu Lin – Still Cruising

Binyu Lin – Still Cruising

by Binyu Lin

Still Cruising restages the scenes that have shaped the artist's desire. These desires are built through the accumulation of a particular queer male imagery: a body that is exposed, trained, and performed. Repeatedly consumed, these images gradually slip into a state of exhaustion. Using staged photography, this project attempts to re-enter this imagery. Through the lens, between aiming and focusing, the desired body is propped up, suspended, or revealed in states of fatigue. As the gaze drifts, attention gradually shifts from the object of desire back toward the self. Through this repeated process of reconstruction and return, Still Cruising seeks to negotiate a space between obsession and the self, a space in which to dwell.

Zhiyue Liu – Crossing the River by Feeling the Stones

by Zhiyue Liu

Crossing the River by Feeling the Stones originates from a concealed childhood bodily experience and unfolding into an exploration of desire, sexuality, and fantasy shaped by migration. Borrowing from a Chinese metaphor for navigating uncertainty through instinct and touch, the project reflects a state of curiosity, confusion, and searching. Through staged photographs, the artist invites female friends to perform ordinary gestures of daily life: domestic, bodily, and playful actions moving between care, routine, intimacy, and the rituals through which a home is inhabited. Drawing on fantasies and desires repressed within the Chinese cultural context, the images complicate conventional ways of looking at the female body, inhabiting sapphic eroticism, exposure, curiosity, and strangeness.
