L’Urgence de la connectivité: Outdoor Photography Exhibition

Winning photographers of the Giga Photo Award 2026 examine what connection means when infrastructures are fragile or unevenly distributed.
Through documentary and reportage photography, the series traces stories of connection under pressure: youth-led digital movements in Kenya, improvised rooftop newsrooms in Sudan, remote classrooms in Ukraine and prison cells in Argentina where phones sustain family ties. The works reveal connectivity as both lifeline and point of tension, questioning who can connect, when, and at what cost.

Genevan artist Gérald Grosjean presents a focused series of paintings and handcrafted maquettes that examine industrial and railway landscapes. The show gathers twenty-seven canvases and three models made from reclaimed materials, emphasising a pointillist approach to structures such as stations, bridges, dams, factories and viaducts. Through meticulous dots and assembled found objects, Grosjean explores the aesthetic presence and collective memory of infrastructure, inviting reflection on material reuse and the visual poetry of engineered landscapes.

Opening : Tuesday 19 May, 18:00

9 May – 29 August

Measures of Infinity brings together works by Susanna Bauer, Frankie Gao and Carol Prusa in a contemplative exhibition of drawings, installations and meticulously crafted objects. Bauer transforms fragile leaves into intricate, almost meditative compositions; Gao offers pared-back drawings and open installations that evoke cosmic structures; Prusa constructs pieces informed by scientific models and unseen phenomena. Across scale and material, the show explores perception, precision and the tension between the intimate and the vast, inviting close looking and slow attention.

22 May – 11 July

Diego Cibelli presents an exhibition that considers notions of futurity and personal trajectory. Through a practice that blends installation, photographic fragments and sculptural assemblage, Cibelli interrogates memory, migration and the acts of anticipating life to come. The works deploy found materials, layered imagery and subtle spatial interventions to create a provisional narrative space where biography, material traces and collective histories converge.

Opening : Thursday 21 May, 18:00 – Talk by Elise Roche at 19:00.

8 June – 5 July

Artist Reggie Khumalo transforms the gallery into an open studio, producing new works on-site that blend painting, collage and mixed-media installation. His practice combines figurative painting with found materials and layered surfaces to explore memory, identity and social histories. Visitors are invited into the artist’s process as he experiments with scale, texture and colour, developing works that will be unveiled at upcoming fairs. The presentation emphasises materiality, narrative fragments and the performative aspects of making.
