Flora Incognita

Free

Curated by Leticia Maciel, Flora Incognita brings together works by David Elia, Marius Margot, Vivianne van Singer, Heberth Sobral and Vasilis Zografos to explore unclassified plant worlds as a metaphor for artistic practices that resist fixed categories. Ceramics form a central thread: clay appears as a material of memory and transformation in Sobral’s, Zografos’s and Elia’s work. Elia’s cyanotypes probe botanical archives and classification systems, van Singer investigates colour and perception, and Margot proposes speculative vegetal ecologies where nature and fiction converge.

Opening : 17 September, 18:00

Geneva cafés: life itself

Art & Exhibits

Bibliothèque de Genève

Dany Gignoux (photographer) and poet Georges Haldas present a compelling dialogue between documentary photography and lyrical prose. The exhibition brings together photographs and written fragments that register everyday life in Geneva’s cafés, combining on-the-spot reportage with memory-infused “prose inspirée.” Through intimate black-and-white images and spare, evocative texts the works transfigure mundane scenes into poetic testimony, revealing social undercurrents and human tenderness. Archival materials frame this historic encounter between two generations of cultural chroniclers.

Observatories — Carte blanche to John M Armleder

Art & Exhibits

MAH

John M Armleder presents an interchange-based exhibition that foregrounds objects drawn from students’ suitcases. Through object-based works and subtle interventions, the show probes modes of observation, intimacy and collective memory. Personal belongings are rearranged as visual prompts that evoke histories, pedagogy and everyday cinematics. The artist’s restrained interventions invite reflection on how small domestic items circulate meanings and facilitate encounters, revealing how private narratives surface within a communal field of attention.

Florian Luthi. Fantômes Météores

Art & Exhibits

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

Photographer Florian Luthi’s Fantômes Météores is inspired by the 1954 wave of UFO sightings across France, especially along the Franco‑Swiss border. From one of these accounts he revisits childhood landscapes—mist‑shrouded forests, deserted villages and the Jura—and composes a photographic narrative where truth wavers and legends endure. The series uses long exposures, muted palettes and staged absence to probe memory, collective fear and the boundary between documentary and myth. A collaboration with Fondation Convergences.
