Located in Jonction, the Usine Kugler is a cultural space situated within a former industrial building. Serving as a hub for the local art scene, the site accommodates numerous artists’ studios, offering both emerging and established artists a platform to present their work and interact with the public. The venue hosts a diverse range of events year-round, including exhibitions, concerts, and performances.
Véronique Déthiollaz and Guy Schibler present a dialogue between drawing and photography that confronts mortality through laughter, desire and celebration. Déthiollaz’s graphite, occasional pastel and ink drawings deploy ironic, grotesque figuration—mocking skeletons and humbled reapers—while Schibler’s photographic series documents funerary sculpture and cemetery vistas that reveal provocative sensuality. Together the works probe how humour, eroticism and festivity resist oblivion, refusing pain through visual excess and theatricality, and interrogate cultural attitudes toward death, embodiment and memory.
Ensemble Vortex offers five pieces that probe apophenia, machines, bodies and sensory shivers, mapping perception’s unstable edges. Composers Rama Gottfried, Daniel Zea, Romane Bouffioux, Anna Korsun and Eva Reiter shape a landscape of micro-stage gestures, video projections, survival-blanket resonances, whispering ASMR textures, spatialized sound and tape. Instrumentalists shift roles—singing, playing, amplifying brushed objects—while live-filmed faces and mechanical tics create a fragile dramaturgy of rupture and merger. The evening unfolds as an immersive, tactile exploration of listening and misrecognition.
