Mirages

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.

14 September – 17 October

Through textiles, photography, performance, and writing, Vanessa Riera explores the visible and invisible burdens that permeate women’s experiences: norms, legacies, and inherited traumas, but also care, healing, and resistance. The title evokes those micromovements that allow the body to endure, adapt, and transform—gestures sometimes imperceptible, yet profoundly meaningful.

Opening during Geneva Art Week on September 16, 18:00

27 August – 15 November

Jean-Marc Yersin and Antoine Roth present two photographic projects that probe urban and natural perception.

In Cités délaissées, Yersin composes futuristic images of deserted cities where digital dematerialization, climate strain and demographic decline have hollowed out public life; the photographs evoke frozen infrastructures and virtual withdrawal. Mirages sees Roth using a long-focus digital camera along the shores of Lake Geneva to capture rare atmospheric and optical phenomena—mirages, light and reflections—questioning the materiality of landscape and how perception shapes experience.

Opening: Thursday 27 August, 18:00

19 September – 29 November

Selected works from the 20th Concours international de céramique present contemporary approaches to clay across functional and sculptural practices. The exhibition gathers emerging and established makers whose pieces range from wheel-thrown vessels and hand-built forms to experimental sculptural objects and site-aware installations. Emphasis is placed on technique, surface treatment and material research, revealing diverse glazing, firing and modeling strategies. Curatorial selection highlights formal innovation and dialogue between tradition and experimentation within contemporary ceramic practice.

6 May – 10 January

Mi Mawai and Madzerokai present an immersive audiovisual installation born from a residency exchange between the Brazilian Amazon and Geneva. The work invites immersion in Baniwa cosmology through video, layered soundscapes, flutes, traditional singing and dance. Visitors are invited to lie in hammocks and on mats for contemplative encounters with projected landscapes and ritual sonic textures. The piece foregrounds ancestral knowledge, collective memory and multisensory modes of storytelling.

16 September – 31 October

Antoni Tàpies presents the complete series “Variations on a Musical Theme”, twenty lithographs created in 1987. The suite reveals Tàpies’s fascination with the interplay between visual art and music: each variation establishes its own rhythm, material presence and visual language. Treated as a continuous sequence, the works unfold like a musical score, inviting an immersive reading of process, texture and symbolic gesture within the artist’s graphic practice.

16 September – 31 October

Le Nouveau Réalisme brings together works by Arman, César, Christo, François Dufrêne, Yves Klein, Niki de Saint Phalle, Mimmo Rotella, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely and Jacques Villeglé to examine the movement’s poetic reworking of urban detritus. The exhibition presents sculptures, assemblages, collages and interventions that displace found objects from everyday contexts, juxtaposing industrial materials, advertising fragments and ready‑mades. Through material play and détournement, the show explores urban consumption, collective memory and the politics of visibility.
