Luna Conte – Landing

by Luna Conte

« Landing is the story of my encounter with Israeli territory, of a confrontation with a reality far from the one I once fantasized about. It is a latent crossing, that of a place where time seems to have frozen still. What emerges out of the heaviness of the surrounding silence is the picture of a fragmented territory, one that is difficult to access and where the lowest walls stand like so many borders against the horizon. And in the destabilizing immobility of things they cast their nostalgic and dumbfoun- ded gazes, they who seem to be contemplating their territory, the very one whose complexity stares them back in the face.»

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.
