Gaïa Lamarre – Realness

by Gaïa Lamarre

« It’s in this world that I want to live, in this place where I don’t need to identify myself. Where I’m not afraid of being judged, where I’m not afraid of other people. Where I don’t feel fear, far from this binary model. That world is safe. It was built on the memories of those who, before me, also simply wanted to live their lives in an authentic way, without wondering if the next day would be their last. This fantasized metaphorical journey expresses my doubts and indecisions about increasingly conscious identity questions.»

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.
