However, specialised Polish agencies identify children with potential from an early age and place them under contract. Former professional model, Zosia Promińska documents this reality in Future Perfect. In the privacy of her children’s bedrooms, she photographs these pre-teens who dream of a career in fashion and makes them pose as models. The photographer arranges for them to be dressed by top Polish fas… more Espace ImagesCHEspace Images +41(0)21-922 48 54 presse@images.ch Wed-Sun 14-18 Amandine KuhlmannCash Me Online 9th session at L'Appartement7 Sep – 3 Nov 2024Cash Me Online is a satirical project combining photography, performance and social media footage. Amandine Kuhlmann creates a hyper-feminine alter ego that she embodies online and during performances to achieve viral fame. She exaggerates her poses, imitates TikTok and Instagram trends and dramatizes her everyday life to make herself noticed. The artist reappropriates videos, drawing on the suggestions of her algorithm and the female stereotypes portrayed by social networks.

Beggar’s Honey reflects how we search for the honey of digital celebrity and reveals behind the scenes of click farms. These clandestine companies aim to artificially inflate content engagement indicators on social media by manipulating algorithms. Going undercover in factories in Vietnam and Hong Kong, Jack Latham photographs the insides of click farms for the first time. The project … more Espace ImagesCHEspace Images +41(0)21-922 48 54 presse@images.ch Wed-Sun 14-18 Tamara Janes & Natalia FunariuFunny Snow Face 9th session at L'Appartement7 Sep – 3 Nov 2024Tamara Janes and Natalia Funariu explore the link between creation and artificial intelligence. The title of their project, Funny Snow Face, comes from a prompt submitted nearly 5’000 times to DALL·E to generate countless images. These funny faces evoke the human act of drawing a head in the snow, formed simply by two dots and a line. The artists take a humorous look at their role in relation to AI. By placing these images on a curtain, they create a dialogue between the material and the … more Espace ImagesCHEspace Images +41(0)21-922 48 54 presse@images.ch Wed-Sun 14-18 Christopher AndersonFamily Trilogy 8th session at L'Appartement6 Dec 2023 – 14 Apr 2024Christopher Anderson naturally began photographing his family after his son Atlas came into the world in 2008. When his daughter Pia was born, he continued the fatherly attempt to stop time and not let a single moment of this new life slip away. Marion features throughout these albums, as a woman, mother, and partner. As a documentary photographer, Christopher Anderson had never considered these personal photos as a ‘series’, but his opinion changed when war photographer Tim Hetherington po… more Espace ImagesCHEspace Images +41(0)21-922 48 54 presse@images.ch Wed-Sun 14-18 Kristine PotterDark Waters 8th session at L'Appartement6 Dec 2023 – 14 Apr 2024Kristine Potter’s latest photobook, Dark Waters, focuses on the violence that permeates the territory and popular culture of the USA. She contrasts a series of portraits of women with scenery that appears serene but is in fact views of places with sordid names, such as Murder Creek, Bloody River, and Rape Pond, evoking the domestic violence that allegedly took place there in the past. Drawing on the musical genre of murder ballads from the 19th and 20th centuries, Kristine Potter alludes to t… more Espace ImagesCHEspace Images +41(0)21-922 48 54 presse@images.ch Wed-Sun 14-18 Jean-Marie DonatChristmas Nightmare 8th session at L'Appartement6 Dec 2023 – 14 Apr 2024Advertisements generally encourage us to picture Santa Claus as a cheerful chubby man with a bushy white beard and a smart red suit, always smiling and huggable. But what’s he really like? Collector Jean-Marie Donat scoured flea markets all over Europe to compile this extraordinary collection of photographs from the 1930s to the 1970s, in which we see the beloved myth become a nightmare of triviality and awkward clumsiness. This witty series seems most likely to confirm our childhood suspicio… more Espace ImagesCHEspace Images +41(0)21-922 48 54 presse@images.ch Wed-Sun 14-18 Stefanie MoshammerEach Poison, A Pillow 7th session at L’Appartement28 Jun – 5 Nov 2023Each Poison, A Pillow combines documentation and personal memories to present a candid approach to a taboo topic: alcoholism in women. Drawing on her childhood and discussions with her mother, Stefanie Moshammer designed an installation to evoke the particular characteristics of this addiction through a variety of media, including photography, videos, textiles, scientific studies, advertising and screenshots. Each Poison, A Pillow also gave rise to a book published by Éditions Images Vevey. … more Espace ImagesCHEspace Images +41(0)21-922 48 54 presse@images.ch Wed-Sun 14-18 Laia AbrilOn Menstruation Myths 7th session at L’Appartement28 Jun – 5 Nov 2023Laia Abril’s project, On Menstruation Myths reveals the plight of those experiencing this biological mechanism in societies that despise it. The artist used texts and images to explore myths and beliefs of various cultural origins, alongside unsettling statistics on the way of life for girls and women during their menstrual cycle. Displaying both research and visual metaphors, the installation allows a better comprehension of the tragic repercussions of miseducation and silence regarding the m… more Espace ImagesCHEspace Images +41(0)21-922 48 54 presse@images.ch Wed-Sun 14-18 Jeff WallA Sudden Gust of Wind (after Hokusai) 7th session at L’Appartement28 Jun – 5 Nov 2023The famous Canadian visual artist Jeff Wall collaborated with the independent photography book publishing company TBW Books to turn his large photograph A Sudden Gust of Wind (after Hokusai) into a book-object. When his work is hung on a wall, the ambient air flow gently moves the 98 unbound lightweight sheets of paper, recalling the original photograph of four people and a sheaf of papers swept away by the wind, a scene inspired by a woodcut by the Japanese artist Hokusai.more Espace ImagesCHEspace Images +41(0)21-922 48 54 presse@images.ch Wed-Sun 14-18 Augustin LignierContainer 7th session at L’Appartement28 Jun – 5 Nov 2023The second Prix Images Vevey x ECAL was awarded to Augustin Lignier. For his Master’s project, he built a pristine white cube inside his bedroom and, every day for almost two months, he locked himself inside it. As he repetitively and obsessively triggered the shutter release, he put his body’s limits to the test to experiment with the apparatus. This performative and conceptual approach resulted in Container, a project that questions the alienating relationship between a photographer and th… more Espace ImagesCHEspace Images +41(0)21-922 48 54 presse@images.ch Wed-Sun 14-18 Barbara IweinsKatalog L'APPARTEMENT SESSION 68 Mar – 4 Jun 2023From 8 March to 14 May 2023, L'Appartement – Espace Images Vevey presents its sixth session of exhibitions: "Katalog by Barbara Iweins".

Sending these images of urban creatures as postcards to friends and family initiates a reflection on communication. How do we, as city creatures of the 21st century, compare to other animals? What can we learn if we really try to listen to them, collaborate with them or put ourselves in their place? Can we understand one another?

Having witnessed the protests that took place in Maidan Square, Niels Ackermann and Sébastien Gobert went on a quest for a major symbol of a country’s communist past: statues of Lenin. For two years, the duo photographed close to 70 statues and conducted as many interviews with their guardians and owners.

Based on this definition by the Grande dizionario della lingua italiana, Piero Martinello has travelled through Italy looking for men and women who, each in their own way and for their own reasons, have adopted radical values and ways of life.

Before the Internet, taking a picture was an act of memory, seeking to preserve the past in still images. In the digital age, the act speaks for itself and tends to empty the process of its historic meaning. This is made obvious in the way smartphones are used, creating massive archives of images that, for the most part, will never be seen.… more Espace ImagesCHla Ferblanterie +41(0)21-922 48 54 presse@images.ch Wed-Sun 14-18 Christian LutzInsert Coins 8 Nov – 18 Dec 2016Christian Lutz Christian Lutz (Geneva, 1973) trained in photography at le 75, Brussels’ School of Image Arts.

She distorts, destroys and tears up, sprays, paints and draws, recomposes and superimposes, sometimes in fits of instinctive rage, the photographs on which her work is based. In the age of Internet and digitalisation, she works directly with matter, bringing out the structure and physicality of her images.
