Lou Masdurand – Skin to Skin

Free

Artist Lou Masduraud presents Skin to Skin, a recent body of work exploring the relationship between architecture, the body and the spaces we inhabit. Large copper wall panels, richly ornamented and pierced with lace-like patterns, oscillate between paintings, doors and thresholds, challenging the neutrality of the white cube. At the centre of the exhibition, Self Street transforms urban street furniture into a reflective object, blurring the boundaries between public and private space.

Through oxidation, touch and layered surfaces, Masduraud creates works that are physically responsive to the viewer, evoking the intimate relationship between clothing, architecture and the body. The exhibition considers how ornament, desire and the gaze can reshape our perception of space and our own embodied identities.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

Mirages

Art & Exhibits

Galerie du Boléro

Antoine Roth presents a photography exhibition focused on atmospheric and optical phenomena observed over Lake Geneva. Working with a digital camera and a long‑focal lens, he photographs distant horizons where light, water and air converge. The series documents rare mirages, notably the Fata Morgana, exploring the boundary between perceptual illusion and measurable physical event. Through patient field observation and precise framing, Roth examines how light and thermal gradients sculpt landscape appearances and challenge our sense of materiality.

Echo Chamber

Art & Exhibits

Maison de l'enfance et de l'adolescence (MEA)

Echo Chamber is an immersive, interactive and participatory exhibition that probes self-image and perception. Housed in a contained space, it stages a sequence of installations and collaborative artworks that invite visitors to engage, modify and reflect on representations of identity. The show extends into a virtual environment, using audiovisual and sensor-driven elements to examine how images circulate, transform and are interpreted—raising questions about gaze, agency and consent in contemporary visual culture.

Olaf Holzapfel

Art & Exhibits

Xippas

German artist Olaf Holzapfel presents a body of work that quietly investigates landscape, architecture and vernacular traditions. Working across sculpture, drawing, painting and installation, he foregrounds materiality and craftsmanship, transforming humble materials into structures that mediate between nature and the built environment. The works trace textures of memory and labour, proposing subtle dialogues between form and site. The exhibition emphasises process and making, inviting sustained attention to material relationships and artisanal techniques.

Solo Séverin Guelpa – Rift

Art & Exhibits

HiFlow

Swiss artist Séverin Guelpa presents Rift, a vast immersive installation that shapes a sonic and telluric twilight. The work stages the fault as a porous space of listening, passage and transformation, where subterranean sounds converse with human voices and instrumental resonances. The presentation includes a live sound performance and collaborative vocal interventions with Varoujan Chetirian (sound composition), Antoine Läng (vocals and instrument) and Yvonne Harder (vocals), articulating material, temporal and acoustic relations.
