Hydromondes, a multidisciplinary collective, presents a two‑year field investigation into Lake Geneva through visual and narrative works. Combining art, science and activism, the group brings together architecture, theatre, hydrology, popular education, landscape design, biology, music, ethnography and engineering to produce mixed-media, research-driven installations and documentary narratives. Drawing on dialogues with local residents and ecological knowledge, the works examine water infrastructures, cultural imaginaries and governance, proposing experiments that reveal and question our relationships with the lake.
