Exhibition visit and creation of “self and Lake Geneva” portraits

Booking Required

Hydromondes guides a participatory workshop inspired by the exhibition Lake Geneva: A Living Being, inviting participants to make collage self‑portraits that merge personal identity with the lake. Drawing on the exhibition’s Seven Faces illustrations, the session foregrounds image-making, memory and embodiment, suggesting how water shapes bodily and cultural lives.

Through collage and mixed media, participants explore themes of belonging, resource dependency and landscape, producing intimate portraits that question and reveal individual relationships to Lake Geneva.

Luis Marques presents DEEP BLUE and INTERMITTENCES, two series of drawing-based works that transform line into landscape, rhythm and breath. DEEP BLUE offers expansive fields of blue where delicate marks build textured, contemplative seascapes. INTERMITTENCES reworks reclaimed screen-print test papers, letting traces, stains and accidents enter a patient process of repeated lines. Using pens, markers and even sewing thread, Marques negotiates control and chance, producing intimate topographies that meditate on time, repetition, memory and material transformation.

Our eyes are naturally drawn to light and what shines. Yet what could be more fascinating than shadow? Shadows have enabled many fundamental discoveries: the shape of the Earth, the calculation of its circumference, the identification of electrons, and the understanding of planetary motion. They accompany us and enrich our thinking. Come and explore them to learn more about their role in science.

A sequence of informational panels traces the route’s evolution, combining historical context, planning perspectives and reflections on everyday use.

EXEM aux urnes – 40 Years of Political Posters brings together 40 political posters by Geneva-based illustrator EXEM between 1988 and 2023. Spanning nearly four decades of Swiss direct democracy, the exhibition explores the distinctive language of political posters at the intersection of graphic art, satire, and political commentary.

Through EXEM’s sharp and engaging imagery, the exhibition traces the political issues and communication styles that have shaped Swiss public life, and offers insight into the artist’s creative process and the stories behind his iconic posters.

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

30 May – 27 September

This exhibition explores the careers of Édouard Naville, Switzerland’s pioneering Egyptologist, and his wife Marguerite Naville, whose contributions alongside him are now recognised in their own right. Through archival documents, excavation records and pharaonic objects, the presentation illuminates their archaeological practice and Marguerite’s role, while situating their work within the political, religious and humanitarian commitments that shaped scholarly life at the turn of the twentieth century.
