Corentin Leroux – New Dawn Fades

by Corentin Leroux

« After the recession linked to the 2014 Maidan revolution, Ukrainian economy attrac- ted many foreign companies that wanted a new image at a lower cost. Between aesthetic fascination and economic pragmatism, they have appropriated the image of Eastern Europe as never before. Five years after the revolution, while the country remains at war with Russia, Ukrainian citizens are now represented by Volodymyr Zelensky, a profes- sional actor. It was during his presidential campaign that I decided to focus on image building for economic, cultural or political purposes. »

Credo

with Matthieu Gafsou

The aim of the Centre intercantonal d’information sur les croyances (CIC) is to map the religious diversity of our regions and to explain in a neutral way how the cantonal communities function. The director, Brigitte Knobel, contacted the ECAL to create a visual cartography of the communities. Second-year students were asked to photograph the project. They worked throughout the year on an assigned religious community, selected beforehand according to geographical and diversity criteria.
