Different Perspectives

Different Perspectives brings together photography and decorative arts from the 20th and 21st centuries in a curated dialogue. Works range from vintage portraits to contemporary visions by Jean-Baptiste Huynh, Willy Rizzo, Yutaka Sakano, Cédric Delsaux and Bernard Faucon. The presentation juxtaposes photographic series with furniture, lighting and objects, alongside historical folding canes dating from the 17th century to the 1930s, inviting reflection on material culture, technique and the shifting gaze across eras.

9 – 31 May

Isabelle Perez constructs a contemporary bestiary of the human soul. Her hybrid figures — at the intersection of myth and animality — probe metamorphosis, instinct and memory. Through paintings, drawings, engravings and sculptures, Perez stages bodies that mirror inner myths and primal impulses. The work examines the fragile boundary between human and animal, and the broader human relationship to nature, seeking poetic and anthropological resonances that invite introspection rather than easy identification.

Opening reception on Friday, May 8th at 6:30 pm
The artist will be present on Saturdays and Sundays

The International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent presents the first European solo exhibition of Guatemalan Maya Kaqchikel artist Angélica Serech (*1982). Pach’un Q’ijul (Temps entrelacés – Deep Time) intertwines ancestral weaving gestures with personal and collective memory, drawing on Serech’s history shaped by Guatemala’s civil war. Using self-built looms and natural materials like corn husks and branches, her works explore resilience, repair, and the deep ties between textile traditions and humanitarian action.

7 – 28 mai

Gérard de Palézieux’s illustrated books are presented in a curated selection of some fifty volumes showcasing original prints—etchings and lithographs—that reveal the artist’s draughtsmanship and graphic sensibility. The presentation focuses on the dialogue between image and text, highlighting sequence, typography and the hand of the illustrator. Many volumes come from the library of a prominent European bibliophile; a new catalogue accompanies the selection, documenting plates, editions and printing techniques.

20 May – 4 July

Physis presents a two-person dialogue between sculptor Ernst Gamperl and the drawing practice of Shunshun. Gamperl’s internationally recognised sculptures, rooted in exceptional woodwork, explore growth, material presence and a generative life force. Shunshun’s delicate, layered line drawings shift from architectural training to intimate studies of spatial depth and quiet emotional resonance. Together the works consider intergenerational perspectives on form, technique and the elemental meanings of nature.

Opening: Wednesday 20 May, 17:00

28 April – 30 July

Fertile Hybridations explores the many forms of encounters and interweavings between humans, non-humans, knowledge systems, and temporalities.
Visitors are invited to inhabit the space, to question, to connect with these artist-researchers and designers, and—like them—to attempt to engage in dialogue and move beyond anthropocentrism, the idea that humans are at the center of everything. Instead, the exhibition encourages recognizing forms of intelligence or agency in other species, and building new relationships and exchanges.
Through this evolving exhibition, enriched by the intersection of art, design, and science, HiFlow becomes a living laboratory—a space for fertile alliances…

Meeting: Tuesday 16 June, 9:00 – 13:00 (in French)

Dream Up brings together modern, post‑war and contemporary works that materialize imagination, memory, fantasy and inner vision across painting, sculpture and mixed media.

New works created for the occasion converse with historical pieces to generate poetic, visually intense dialogues.
