Guillaume Baeriswyl – Speculative Horizon

by Guillaume Baeriswyl

In Switzerland, nuclear waste is expected to be stored in deep geological layers by 2050. Placed in cavities dug more than 700m underground, the most toxic of them must remain buried for a million years so that they no longer represent any danger to humans and the environment. Both spatially and temporally, these notions are beyond us. Through different representation modalities, Horizon spéculatif explores and questions our perception of temporalities and spatialities related to nuclear waste.

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.
