Paul Reachi – Take It All In!

by Paul Reachi

"Take It All In!" is a 2-channel video installation positioned between documentary and fantasy. It investigates how entertainment influences labor, psychology, and shared imagination. Blending real life stories, fictional scenarios and animal presence, it reflects on generational and cultural attitudes toward passion, work, and existential meaning. Filmed along the Mediterranean and the Lemanic coasts — where leisure and labor often intersect — the piece examines layered realities. The 2-channel format captures this simultaneity also offering material at once hi and lo-fi, mirroring a fragmented overlapping experiences of image, representation, purpose and identity.

Zuzana Baková – and she said, it loops when you’re not looking

by Zuzana Baková

Water distribution and the infrastructure responses devised for the transmission of its stream, such as irrigation canals, artificial rivers, holding reservoirs, hydroelectric dams, etc., are reframed through the formal attitude of circular sculpture, containing water. A discourse on the control over, allocation of, and access to the resource. Circular shapes and motions allude to temporal constructs such as loops, time capsules, and atemporality. Time and space are treated as variables in this equation.

Olivia Handschin – EUREKA

by Olivia Handschin

A few years ago, a winnie the Pooh Sock tumbled underneath her bed. The mattress was too small for the frame, causing things to fall regularly between the wooden panels. Winnie hoped the little girl would look under the bed, but kids are often terrified of looking there, invoquing an innate fear of the darkness and all of its monsters. In fact, what lay beneath was a peculiar place, one that collects all those forgotten bits and pieces that slip between the panels— a kind of portal to a forgotten realm, buried beneath dust and old storage boxes. It was the worst fate any household item could endure— a kind of limbo— and depending on the household, it may take a long time before you are found again, if you are ever found at all.

Mykolya Churmantaiev – Post-Post-Kontrapost

by Mykolya Churmantaiev

Post-Post-Kontrapost explores a collapsed body — part painting, part sculpture — dissolving into fragments. There’s no action left, only trace. A figure has broken out of a holding space; what remains is absence. Birds surround it — not hostile, just present. Their quiet gaze becomes psychopolitical: always observing, never intervening. The painting hangs low, not for the viewer, but the figure — which is already leaving. The black jacket renders the body heavy, depersonalized. A doorway, echoing Clyfford Still, offers artificial calm. The system rejects exhaustion and apathy, but this work lingers there — in the after. The birds don’t leave. They follow.

Louis Fontaine – Figures de Contraite

by Louis Fontaine

This two-sculpture project develops hybrid forms drawn from the silhouettes of basket gowns, medieval armor, liturgical garments, and feudal Japanese firefighters’ clothing. The work explores the notion of apparatus and its evolving relationship to the body, addressing themes of identity, ritual, and constraint. A dynamic tension emerges between protection and rigidity. Influenced by the tactile richness of Olga de Amaral and the sculptural textile innovations of Jeanne Vicérial, the sculptures inhabit a liminary space where body, structure, and narrative converge.

Mayalène de Roquemaurel – Honte excitante

by Mayalène de Roquemaurel

Exciting shame. The body split, as if divided into several pieces. The pasty thing in the mouth. It runs through my nails, my nose, my epithelial tissue. Tiny cells swarming in the belly, some empty, others full. They try to swell and escape, flowing like a stream through the limbs, awakening the stirred viscera. An endless thread that knots and unknots itself.

Eulalie Félix – Il est parfois nécessaire de faire une scène.

by Eulalie Félix

My first is hollow and clangs softly when struck by a wandering step. My second is barely a word — just a pause, a breath between thoughts. My third hides in the dark, curled in warmth, five to a foot. My whole lies quiet beneath the earth, waiting to feed with no pride, only patience.

Oana Cuozzo – Mise en pièce

by Oana Cuozzo

The elac gallery becomes a multi-dimensional space. Dissected, manipulated, walls become boards and boards become walls, which in turn become shadows. The piece is an “in-between” state, neither a photograph, nor a sculpture, nor a frame. Elac becomes both an operating theatre and the subject undergoing surgery.

Anna Cocimarov – De deux choses l'urne (qui rit), l'autre c'est le sommeil...

by Anna Cocimarov

Laughter on TV was recorded in the 1950s. Today, most of the people you hear laughing are dead.” This line from the novel Berceuse by Chuck Palahniuk feels like an urban legend — half true. It echoes Bruce Nauman’s Partial Truth, a cold, minimalist stele shaped like a dead TV screen. Television, too, builds partial truths: cutting, filtering, reframing reality. We watch the news like a sitcom, between forced laughter and banalized tragedy. This installation reflects this fractured perception: two urns — one laughs, the other sleeps. Vessels of memory, they embody both absurdity and numbness. Between laughter and sleep, death and spectacle, the boundary fades — like truth itself.

Emma Blanc-Germser – Noce de pigeon

by Emma Blanc-Germser

We're off to tell our own stories, piecing together the crap that surrounds us to make beautiful structures while gradating the shades of brown, beige, black, ochre, khaki, that it offers us. Because when the tears stop coming out, everything ends up coming out through the buttocks. And there's nothing left to do but to go in the quest of love.

Amina Loumachi – Pleaser Flamingo-808G 8 inches schlong

by Amina Loumachi

This performance play with themes of spaces. Through sexualities, the artist questions power dynamics, creating a link amongst the bioluminescence concept as a visibility strategy and queer activism. With heels dancing and a neon atmosphere, the project explores the way of inhabiting the space which could either be intimate or the public. The artist amplifies the echo of their heels, which draws the silence while lighting up the space with each clack. A dialogue is created with the public, still but here. A biocenosis takes place where a space-sound landscape exists creating a tangible discomfort. Bodies become a vector of memories, breathing as the performance goes. A shared heritage gets distributed but also reverses the positions of everyone.

Romane Roy – OVERRULED

by Romane Roy

[…] You know I've never been to one of these things before and when I think about how many people wanted this, and how many people cried over it and stuff, I mean, I think everybody looks great tonight. Look at Jessica Lopez, that dress is amazing and Emma Gerber that hair do must have taken hours and you look really pretty. So why is everybody stressing over this thing? I mean it's just plastic, it's really just (she breaks the crown). A piece for Gretchen Wieners, a partial Spring Fling Queen. A piece for Janis Ian and a piece for Regina George, she fractured her spine and she still looks like a rockstar, and some for everybody else. (Cady’s prom speech in MEAN GIRLS)

Tom Grbic – Imagine ne pas pouvoir fuir, performance continue de la tolérance et de laa raison

by Tom Grbic

Imagine not being able to run away is a continuous performance lasting the whole day. It aims to show the principle of ‘trans work’ theorised by Josephine Gilles Harris in 2019. J. G. Harris highlights, among other things, the fact that queer people need to maintain a constant performative state in order to be able to navigate the world in an ‘understandable’ way. With an activation of texts by Laurène Marx, Tom Grbic, Josephine Gilles Harris and Adel Tincelin, it is also an effort to inscribe ourselves in a lineage, a critical and welcoming queer History.

My diploma project is an self-portrait created using ball point pens and Chinese ink on six sections of cardboard that are one metre by eighty centimetres put together to create a three metre by one metre sixty piece. The goal of the project is to represent uncertainty, anxiety and internal conflict. Leaving blank space to play an equally important role as the filled in sections, to reinforce the loss of self in this emotional whirlwind.

Finally, the bonding (layer by layer), the interpretation of paint, fabric, photograph, tea towel, ribbon, lace, and glue. A collage : a simultaneity; a visual dazzlement, a multilayering, a final message for the senses. (…)"

Shkelqim Qestaj – Cirque d’amour

by Shkelqim Qestaj

The sky lacks wings. We’re still looking for those places. Places to love and embrace each other. Modern comfort. In the starless morning, you bring me roses, I send you back with thorns. Outdated body and soul. We never lose sight of the shadow for the prey. Balance is our law. We leave to explore what lies behind the wall. We can walk a tightrope without danger. Dance without falling into the void.

Alix Bitz – Lotto(-portrait), 2023

by Alix Bitz

Installation objects & lithographs Size: approx. 2 x 2 m At eye level, a white line. A void. Looking up, a series of self-portraits stare back at us. Faces in transmutation. A single portrait cannot show the full extent of a being. So it unfolds before exploding to better reappear. Underneath, a collection of objects, like the wanderings of a life that has led to this moment and stops. Memories flow from the heads that have become objects. Through this staging, the shattered quest for a self that slips away as soon as we seem to approach it.

Ali Chatila – 14 juin 2023

by Ali Chatila

My graduation project consists of four 90 x 200 cm wooden boards – in total, eight sides on which I have been painting for over two years. I paint mainly for the pleasure of painting and like to focus on the present moment. At the end of my studies, I will continue working on these four boards. They are therefore not finished and may never be. The title of the work announces the temporary interruption. I do not have any particular technique; I just paint with what I find. My four boards were salvaged from a dumpster and most of the material I use was destined to be thrown away. For my installation, my paintings are fixed on the wall, revealing only the four sides.

Noemi Leneman – Lolita

by Noemi Leneman

Lolita is a filmed ballet opera starring a dancer named Lolita. In order to bend to the gaze, desire and projections of her chosen one, she tries out several roles. First, she is a ballerina, trapped in a music box; then a shepherdess, an ambiguous figure who goes from admiration for to power over, and submission to her lambs; and finally, an opera singer who gradually transforms into a wolf. This video disrupts and plays with the aesthetic codes of traditional stage representations. Eva Galmel has been teaching me to dance on pointe. Around this project, a group of young artists from my entourage formed, collaborating for several months, trying to achieve a female gaze. Choreographers: Philomène Jander and Eva Galmel Scenography: Salomé Engel Costumes: Adèle Berson and Roxane Sauvage

Tianchang Gu – Papers, please

by Tianchang Gu

The title of my graduation work comes from the video game of the same name and is the sequel to my thesis “Renens Palace”, an autofiction based on a dystopian future. In this fiction, the “self”, a former immigrant in Europe, becomes an immigration officer. How can writing be transformed into performance? The observed becomes the observer. The formerly oppressed blends into the system and becomes a person of authority. Bureaucratic gestures turn into choreography. Official documents become poems. Administrative motifs and symbols of power turn into visual aesthetics. These are the questions I contemplate during this creative process. All these strangely romanticised and anxiety-inducing elements evoke a reality we don’t always want to confront.

Yann Fankhauser – Étendard du marcheur

by Yann Fankhauser

This project is a print on a PVC tarpaulin (2500 mm x 1200 mm) of 18 silhouettes in boxes forming a black and white checkerboard. The development of the project was done from hand-made sketches, then digitised with Illustrator and arranged in a checkerboard. These sketches of silhouettes were made through various processes: 1) the modification of an initial silhouette to create a new one, 2) the juxtaposition of several silhouettes with each other, and 3) by illustrating a new angle of a silhouette already created. The concept revisits the idea of a motor-racing finish flag, transforming it into an endless journey, playing on the boundary between the figurative and the abstract in the image of pareidolia.

Florentina Walser – Don’t touch my car!!! & You’re so hilarious, next time the circus comes to town I’ll sell you as a clown

by Florentina Walser

There is quite some ambiguity between real PORTRAIT ideation and imaginative/role play, almost dress-up-play – dressing up IN THE BROADEST SENSE OF THE TERM, the idea of looking at oneself from an outside perspective. It makes me wonder, who or what it actually is, that is being COMPOSED here: is it really the ORDER OF THINGS (or a social, political, visual, formal, physical, scientific VERSION OF imitation), as could be easily concluded? Is it a proxy-pleasure for someone – or rather for something – else? Or is the desire to imagine itself a proxy emotion/activity…? What follows is a perfectly choreographed ballet of violence, because as we know, to talk about Camp is to betray it. And this we must respect!
