Intermezzi: Daily Journal of the Simone Weil Pavilion

Matteo Michelini presents 78 daily journals created at Thomas Hirschhorn’s Simone Weil Pavilion, tracing an ongoing exchange between writing, artistic practice and lived experience. Readings from Denkraum, his intimate notebook published alongside the journals, are paired with a live sound creation by Androo. The project reflects on the slow accumulation of daily forms, where text becomes both document and artistic gesture. It also frames publishing itself as a site of creation, memory and preservation.

16 September – 4 November

Béchir Boussandel presents a body of work that unfolds from shadow and the heat of desert palettes. Through paintings, sculptures and delicate bird watercolours populated by anonymous figures, he examines displacement, crossing and survival within North African desert landscapes. The pieces use ochres, reds and material contrast to evoke memory and shifting identities, employing an atmospheric visual language that balances figuration and absence.

15 September – 15 November

Cameroonian photographer and visual artist Martin Abega presents a body of work that transforms image into material. Combining photography with textiles, embroidery, cowrie shells and charcoal, he stages photographic compositions and object-based pieces that investigate metamorphosis of body and mind. Themes of ordeal, fragility, trace, transmission and regeneration recur, often through the female figure as emblem. Curated by Ngalula Mafwata, the work opens a contemplative space that asks what remains after transformation.

Opening: 15 September, 18:00
Art’péro: 5 & 12 November, 18:00

With the support of Pro Helvetia, the City of Geneva, and the Republic and Canton of Geneva.
