After Anna is a journey made from island to island where I follow my own quest searching for a mysterious fictional woman who is lost at sea. In the category of an enigmatic Road Trip, explore, off Sicily, some of the endless possibilities of what could have befallen her.For exemple caught in a fisherman’s net or hidden in a deep maritime cave.

I drew inspiration for my journey from The Odyssey when Ulysses tries desperately to reunite with Penelope, and by the brutal disappearance of Anna in L’Avventura of Antionioni. This trip is situated on the boarder between the quest of an old myth and an modern investigation that allow me, parallely, to looking for the roots of my culture.

The project is a book that is cut in five parts where some blue pages are used to separate them.

Benoit Jeannet - A Geological Index Of The Landscape

http://www.benoitjeannet.ch/

“Benoît Jeannet’s book operates somewhere on the extreme end of the spectrum of a typological approach to landscape,” says Lesley Martin. “It is meticulously indexed, simultaneously lush and highly methodical in its survey of geological and topographic details — a nouvelle vague approach to the New Topographics.” Created as part of Jeannet’s graduate thesis at the École cantonale d’art de Lausanne, the book combines studio experiments recreating atmospheric and geologic forms with on-site studies of actual landscapes throughout both Europe and the U.S. The reader is guided by a highly systematized if somewhat absurd taxonomy, using elements such as size or “experiment type” (including “Waves” and “Rainbows”). Each image is accompanied by a multi-character label that allows the viewer to decipher and interpret the type, location, context, and other aspects of the landscape or item depicted, without sacrificing pure visual pleasure.

Delphine Burtin - Sans condition initiale

www.burtin.ch/photographie

Through the object constructions and photographs in her installation Sans condition initiale [With no initial condition], Delphine Burtin’s pursues her conceptual investigations of the leitmotiv of the “visual accident.” Present in all her images, she views this discordant motif as a way of attracting our visual attention and sowing doubt into our perception of reality. In this extremely controlled series contrived in studio, the artist deepens her explorations of the limits to and the ambivalence of human understanding. Supremely economical in terms of technique and colour, she amasses, aligns, overlaps, and arranges ordinary objects — glass, fly-swat, sphere — that she characterises as “pieces of world.” From these “existing visual fragments,” Burtin adumbrates an entirely reconfigured visual semiotics. By hijacking objects from their everyday use and reassigning their significance, the arbitrary combinatory game generated by the artist results in a surprising photographic language, in which objects we thought we knew become unfamiliar and the incongruous associations they set in train undermine our conventional representations. If Delphine Burtin’s works have often been discussed in terms of still-life photography, in the present case it would be more pertinent to talk of the photography of sculpture. Sans condition initiale investigates the interaction between objects transformed into sculptures, sculptures that subsequently morph into photographs, and photographs that revert back to the status of sculptural objects by occupying all three dimensions of space.

Raven is an enigma, an invisible and omniscient character, a mediator between life and death; as in Edgar Allan Poe's poem, the raven symbolises what will never be anymore. Likewise, photography seems to be bound to a forever gone moment.

I worked on this body of work for a period of over ten years, from 2004 till 2015. Today it contains about 115 images from several techniques that I experimented in order to learn how to develop my own visual language. All photographs were shot in the same place, closely related to the farm where I grew up and the family members.

This period of ten years represents my photographic journey and its progression till today, thus without following a chronological order. Raven describe the passing of time in one closed and defined place, yet without leading to any denouement. Things change, people pass by, but impossible to know towards what.

Younès Klouche - TRUST Magnum

www.younes.klouche.com

In central Switzerland, international companies enjoy tax privileges and set offices in large buildings just like those of The City in London. The managers and employees roam the streets of a small village in german convertibles or running clothes at lunchtime. G***core for instance is a giant wholesaler and mineral extractor. They own mines all over the world that pollute, provoke cancer with water intoxication, and has very low ethics when it comes to the workers conditions and salary. It is one of the worst company in the world but they hide right here in the beautiful landscape of the region ; behind buildings opaque facade or dark reflective surfaces. With no privileged access on site, central Switzerland allowed me to observe what makes no uproar, spy the discrete practices of traders and reveal the threat of a postcards haunting specter.

Dagmar Keller & Martin Wittwer - Passengers

http://www.kellerwittwer.de

Passengers (Book) released with Spector Books in November 2013 164 pp., 114 color illustrations, sewn hardcover, clothbound Leipzig 2013 ISBN: 978-3-944669-02-1

“Passengers” is the result of an observation Dagmar Keller and Martin Wittwer made at night at a bus station while travelling through Poland. For a moment, the passengers on an old bus, obscured behind stained, ice-covered windows, in the pale light of the bus station had the appearance of figures in a painting. Travellers, fallen out of time. Tired, lost in thought, their faces drawn by sadness or lit up with joy – so close and yet distanced behind the glass. Dagmar Keller and Martin Wittwer have preserved those quiet, fleeting moments in their series “Passengers”.
