In Luxembourg, one of the few remaining transhumant sheep farms continues to traverse the country’s meadows, villages, and urban landscapes, maintaining a tradition that has shaped human-animal relationships and ecological systems for centuries. Over several months, photographer Liz Lambert closely fo… more CNALUKay WalkowiakTraces of Time 19 Jul – 24 Nov 2024Kay Walkowiak’s evocative exhibition ‘Traces of Time’ at ‘Waassertuerm+Pomhouse’ in Dudelange (LU) explores the intricate and multifaceted nature of time through powerful imagery and thought-provoking artworks. The conceptual core and starting point for the exhibition is the cinematic short film Traces of Time (2021), which radically challenges western perceptions of time: the clocks’ hands complete their round in an hour, suggesting the possibility of a cyclical, rather than linear… more CNALURozafa Elshan1 – 2 – 3 HIC HIC SALTA ! Luxembourg Photography Award Mentorship 202324 Feb – 7 Jul 2024Today, let us take from our pocket a little piece of paper folded in two to find therein a few words of encouragement scribbled in pencil. – Approach the centre of the platform, position yourself dear guest and read aloud the invitation addressed to you. HIC HIC SALTA! in 1 - 2 - 3 seconds; HERE NOW JUMP! on the platform set up upon the ground so that you may at last, weightless, exist in a brief present moment.

The artist was confronted with a religious building, a place of worship steeped in memory, history, reli… more CNALUJeff WeberImage Storage Containers 6 May – 1 Oct 2023In 2012, Jeff Weber reproduced a box identical to the one in which the small-scale photographic prints from the exhibition The Family of Man were sheltered from the light, while undergoing restoration. He proceeded to take close-ups of this object, both frontally and under different lighting conditions, then reframed six of the resulting photographs and combined them in a grid, in a serial composition entitled Image Storage Containers. This marks a sharp contrast to the pharaonic pr… more CNAFRDaniel Wageneropus incertum LËT’Z ARLES3 Jul – 24 Sep 2023Daniel Wagener (b. 1988), the winner of the Luxembourg Photography Award 2023, is presenting his exhibition "opus incertum" at Chapelle de la Charité, as part of the Rencontres d'Arles, curated by Danielle Igniti.

In the exhibition space at the foot of the tower, Luxembourgish artist Mike Bourscheid will present his new photographic s… more CNALUSteven CruzHolidays from morality Melting Memories9 Feb – 26 Feb 2023The idea behind Steven Cruz’s work was an observation of gay subcultures such as gay saunas and other places or ways gay men resort to while in search of pleasure and anonymity. Cruz draws parallels between intercourse and the consumption of substance. An instinctive, even primitive need linked to survival, but taken to the extreme by society’s oppression of queer people, denying them to live out their fantasies or basic sexual attraction shamelessly. Hence, in the center of Cruz's work sta… more CNALUMisch FeinenStëmme vun der Schmelz 20 Mar 2022 – 1 Jan 2023As part of the "our archive - your story" project and on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the exhibition space Waassertuerm + Pomhouse, the CNA presents "Stëmme vun der Schmelz" in homage to the former industrial site and its workers. 140 years after the foundation of the first fully integrated steelworks (including blast furnaces, steel- and rolling mill) in the country, the time seems right to look back on this pivotal era in the Grand Duchy’s history;… more CNAFRRomain UrhausenLËT’Z ARLES In His Time4 Jul – 25 Sep 2022Prolific but little known in France, Luxembourg photographer Romain Urhausen stands out for his singular style extending between the French humanist school and the German subjective school of the 1950s and 1960s, to which he actively contributed. His tinged with humor photographs, often a pretext for formal and poetic exploration, go beyond a classic depiction of reality. The exhibition shows how Urhausen took an experimental approach to daily life, working men, the cityscape, the nude and … more CNAFRDaniel ReuterProvidencia 4 Jul – 26 Sep 2021Lët’z Arles is delighted to be participating for the 4th time in the Rencontres d’Arles this summer 2021, with two exhibitions displayed within the associated programme.

MartinLANDRUSH VENTURES INTO GLOBAL AGRICULTURE20 Mar – 29 Aug 2021"LANDRUSH" is an artistic exploration of the social and environmental consequences of agriculture around the world. Agriculture drives climate change, extinction, erosion and water depletion. It uses about 40 % of all land on earth and more than 70 % of all freshwater; drying up riverbeds and draining aquifers. Due to over-exploitation of the soil and rapidly intensifying global temperatures desertification is one of the greatest threats to life on earth. By 2048 the world’s … more CNALUMarie SommerL’Œil et la Glace 24 Apr – 29 Aug 2021"L’œil et la glace", continues an investigation into Cold War archive-sites that Marie Sommer initiated in 2018 at the Stasi in Berlin. This installation explores the remnants of the DEW Line (Distant Early Warning Line), a defence system set up across the North of Canada to detect any potential invasions of North America by the Soviets. This long-range radar and communications line traces a magnetic frontier across the Arctic territory from west to east. Of the many stat… more CNALUEline BenjaminsenCollapsed Mythologies An annex to the Geofinancial Lexicon22 May – 29 Aug 2021Eline Benjaminsen, the CNA's artist in residency from 2019 to 2020, is fascinated by the abilities and failures of photographic storytelling as a tool to interact with and challenge what she views as nonsensical results produced by the logic of today's global market. But mostly her work revolves around a deep concern that the lack of visuality within such market processes may limit our ability to engage with them. That’s why the potential that imagery possesses in enabling u… more CNALUChristian AschmanHors-Champs 16 May – 29 Nov 2020ln 2018, photographer Christian Aschman was commissioned by the Centre national de l'audiovisuel (CNA) to draw up a visual inventory, both intra and extra muros, of the "Agrocenter" industrial zone. Located in Mersch, it had been serving the agrifood industry since 1959. With a view to safeguarding a heritage site that had played a central role in the Luxembourg agricultural sector for decades, both the CNA and the photographer agreed that it was vital to establish a photograph… more CNALUKarolina Markiewicz & Pascal PironPFH* PUTAIN DE FACTEUR HUMAIN 7 Mar – 26 Jul 2020Karolina Markiewicz and Pascal Piron, who have been working together since 2013, extend their work on human beings and History – through the cinematographic, pictorial and plastic, even theatrical. For this piece, we enter a cinema-theater composed of paintings, projections, writings, reworked documentary images, but also synthetic images and an experience in virtual reality, created in collaboration with Gil Pinheiro. A multilingual soundtrack, written by the duo and interpreted by Elisab… more CNALUMary FreyReal Life Dramas 13 Jul – 25 Nov 2019An important oeuvre in the history of US American photography is currently being rediscovered. After being shown for the first time in Europe at the Forum für Fotografie in Cologne, the work of the photographer Mary Frey is now displayed at the Centre national de l‘audiovisuel (CNA) in Dudelange. It carries us away to a small town in the west of Massachusetts, to the America of the 1970s and 80s. Even at first glance we can see how the pictures reflect Frey’s artistic debate … more CNALUEzio D'AgostinoNEOs 16 Mar – 9 Jun 2019NEOs, through the visible remains of our era, proposes a visual hypothesis as to what the forthcoming "Capitalist space" might resemble, an object too close to the Earth to be seen from the right distance. (Ezio D’Agostino) In the course of his 2017 to 2018 residency, Ezio D’Agostino spent several weeks in Luxembourg and researched the economic and technological history of the country to question the very notion of development and progress from a given context. In the… more CNALUMichel MedingerMichel Medinger's photographic universes 9 Jun – 16 Dec 2018CNA’s exhibition of the Luxembourg photographer Michel Medinger’s work aims to illustrate how as a talented young artist in search of his own individual style, Medinger (*1941) evolved artistically and technically: eventually creating his surprising and unexpected photographic ‘tableaux’, and becoming an established, recognized artist, both nationally and internationally. Over the past four decades, Michel Medinger has conceived and composed a whole array of different un… more CNALUPatrick GalbatsHIT ME ONE MORE TIME 10 Mar – 29 Apr 2018In recent years, Patrick Galbats undertook a series of trips to Hungary, travelling the length and breadth of the country to weave a narrative with multiple points of entry. One starting point was his Hungarian grandfather, Imre Miklos Galbats, who was forced to flee his native land in 1944, to become a stateless refugee who even scribbled the Hungarian national anthem into his passport. For Patrick Galbats this was the beginning of an immersive exploration of his Hungarian family roots, an ente… more CNALUForging a Modern Society Photography and Corporate |
