Carte Blanche: Works on Paper

Eight artists — Fernando de la Rocque, Jean Marie Fahy, Dara Maillard, Lyz Parayzo, Wes Roque, Almeida da Silva, Vivianne Van Singer and Martin Widmer — examine paper as a deliberate field of possibility. Treating sheets as material and gesture, they deploy drawing, cutting, layering and mark‑making to activate intimacy, fragility and resilience. The works reclaim paper as presence rather than support, exploring immediacy, vulnerability and the poetic potential of minimal means.

Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.

German photographer Lia Darjes presents the Plates-I-XXXI series, born from an observation of a squirrel approaching a leftover cake during lockdown. She reconstructs domestic meals, collects their detritus: dishes, flowers and crumbs, and arranges them with care as the beginnings of contemporary still lifes. She then sets a camera programmed to trigger in her absence, sometimes leaving it for nights, allowing animal intervention to capture suspended moments. The series celebrates subtle coexistence between humans and animals and the quiet beauty of a shared world.

In collaboration with the Centre de la photographie de Genève.
