Charlotte Tronchot – Good Mourning

by Charlotte Tronchot

Good Mourning questions the ways of understanding death in our hypermodern world. Online memorial websites are becoming the new means of legacy and commemoration. Full of universalized and standardized symbols, their aesthetics refers to an imagery of visual solace. Clichéd and violent images argue in an apocalyptic soundscape, and their dialogue expresses the blindness of a society that keeps death at a distance. Torn between the promise of an illusory paradise and the reality of our own mortal destiny, we are facing this eternal renewal cycle.

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.
