Studio project with Laurence Bonvin

Reclaiming Water invites you to create projects related to the element water, whatever its form, solid, liquid or gas. The oceans cover 71% of the earth's surface and we are 65% water. Water is a vital element, it is synonymous with life and can also be a disruptive and destructive element. Who owns water? Is it a common good or a marketable resource? Access to clean water is already a problem in many regions and will become one of the major global issues of this century. Here, glaciers are melting and gradually disappearing, and there, rising oceans are threatening the habitability of certain islands and coasts. Floods and flash floods cause human and material losses and reshape the landscape. Human activity in the home, industry and and mining activities lead to pollution of surface and ground water. In the medium term, drinking water will be the most sought-after and most precious raw material. The issue of water reveals many questions of environmental injustice. Reclaiming Water is an invitation to question yourself and to produce images in relation to the countless issues related to water. In our regions, the issue of water takes on particular forms linked in particular to the melting of glaciers, the increasing scarcity of snow and an exceptional abundance of this natural resource. On the one hand, what is still true today will not necessarily be true tomorrow. On the other hand, in other parts of the world, water is already a political, social, economic and human issue. How can we visually address these issues?

Studio project with Matthieu Gafsou

The "documentary practices" course focuses on the treatment of a theme related to ecology in a broad sense. Each student Each student is free to appropriate the subject in his or her own way, as long as a documentary approach is used. By documentary we mean a logic of relation to reality, to something that is anchored in a here and now. It can be a very specific and concrete starting point (a permaculture garden, Extinction Rebellion activists, documentation of polluted sites, meeting people working with animals) or a broader and more multiple approach, or even a personal one.

Workshop with Stéfanie Moshammer

« For this workshop there are no rules but I want you to tell me a story. I prefer to see a few images with a good concept, rather than too many images without any idea. » S.M With this invitation, the students worked on the territory of the city of Renens in search of places, people and traces of a history that is not simply a series of beautiful images.
