Alexandra Trotobas – Innerspace

by Alexandra Trotobas

« Where do our own senses, space and memory meet? Innerspace uses sensory stimulation to play with our relationship to memories and space. As I come from a family of perfumers, the emotional power of olfaction has always intrigued me. Playing with scale, this immersive space fosters responsiveness to smell, sight and hearing and invites the viewer on a journey of dualities: present experience and past memory, outer world and inner world, reality and perception. The physical space and the immaterial space of the video offer fragments, echoes and insinuations that guide the viewer through the installation on an exploration of their senses. »

Credo

with Matthieu Gafsou

The aim of the Centre intercantonal d’information sur les croyances (CIC) is to map the religious diversity of our regions and to explain in a neutral way how the cantonal communities function. The director, Brigitte Knobel, contacted the ECAL to create a visual cartography of the communities. Second-year students were asked to photograph the project. They worked throughout the year on an assigned religious community, selected beforehand according to geographical and diversity criteria.
