EXHIBITION: ECAL

Blue Gold

19.01.2023 - 28.02.2023
OPENING ON THURSDAY 19 JANUARY AT 6.30PM

By students in the Preparatory Year – Photography option at ECAL/Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne.

This project, developed by students in the Propaedeutic Year – Photography Option at ECAL, under the direction of photographer Nicolas Haeni, invites us to question the symbolism of water. Since the dawn of time, this blue gold has intrigued and inspired, giving rise to interpretations which, even today, and perhaps even more than ever, inhabit literature, the visual arts and the performing arts. Starting with the quote from astrophysicist Hubert Reeves

“ON A COSMIC SCALE, LIQUID WATER IS RARER THAN GOLD”,

the young photographers propose their personal and individual vision, exploring different fields of photography: still life, portrait, architecture or staging.

Opening: Thursday 19 January 2023, 6.30PM
Exhibition: from 19 November to 28 February 2023
Visits: Monday to Friday from 5 to 6pm and during concerts for ticket holders
