Collectif_fact Afterimage

Art & Exhibits

Wilde

collectif_fact is composed of Annelore Schneider (born 1979 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland) and Claude Piguet (born 1977 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland). Living and working between London and Geneva, they create mainly video-based works that deconstruct cinematic codes and popular culture stereotypes. Their practice explores notions of (anti-)spectacle, simulacra, and appropriation through fragmented narratives combining dialogue, quotations, music, and references to classic cinema.

Ben Thouard: Aqua Obscura

Art & Exhibits

ArTypique

Ben Thouard is an ocean artist and one of the world’s foremost surf photographers. In his work water becomes a darkroom, an underwater camera obscura that reveals a singular, immersive vision. This exhibition presents previously unseen photography born of a near-daily practice: a language of water and light. Between organic forms, deep textures and shifts of shadow and clarity, Thouard’s images move between abstraction and contemplation, offering a sensory experience that explores the movements and metamorphoses of liquid matter.

Jan Albers: rOughrOuge

Art & Exhibits

Galerie lange+pult

German artist Jan Albers (born 1971) develops a practice between painting, sculpture and architecture. His works often take the form of reliefs built through accumulation: assembled, layered and compressed surfaces of wood, metal, polystyrene, ceramic and polymer plaster that evoke fragments of architecture, models or landscapes. These reliefs oscillate between saturation and erasure, balance and collapse, revealing their complexity only through a slow, attentive gaze.

12.5 m² – Design x Vegetation for the Common Good

Art & Exhibits

Parc sous les marronniers

Seven emerging designers transform parking bays into site-specific installations that imagine alternative uses for reclaimed urban space. Combining design, planting and crafted structures, the works explore collective wellbeing, ecological practice and public appropriation of infrastructure. Installations range from modular seating and planted interventions to sculptural landscapes that reframe parking as communal terrain. The project foregrounds collaboration between landscape and design, inviting reflection on everyday spatial commons and small-scale ecological strategies.

The Art of Illustrating the History of Plan-les-Ouates

Art & Exhibits

La julienne

Charcoal drawings, pastel landscapes, paintings and monotype experiments depict historical figures, sporting and occupational scenes, and still lifes of old and modern objects. The exhibition weaves personal and collective memory using observational technique and painterly composition to evoke local narratives, question how everyday activities shape communal identity, and celebrate the visual traces of a community’s past.
