Cynthia Ammann – Floating View

by Cynthia Ammann

Floating View is an immersive exploration into Saigon’s ever-changing cityscape. Fragmented, multi-layered images portray a young generation merging into an ever-expanding city. Shifting from futuristic perspectives to the strange flaws of an altered reality, the city emerges and dissolves into an accelerated narrative, blurring the lines between truth and fiction. As a fantasized and dystopian world collapses, the photo series aims to reflect on tomorrow’s megacities through their rapid urbanization process.

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.
