PHOTOGRAPHY
by Jimmy Rachez
Alone Facing my own thoughts, my images tell of my chaotic daily life marked by an absence that leaves traces. In a spirit of openness to the world and self-construction, my installation opens my interior to the outside world through a series of photographs done in an organic way in my private space. Between the dry and the wet I am trying to find my balance.

The 3rd of October, 2005: discovery of a female body on the edge of a forest. For my mother is a personal project in which I reconstruct her story. This investigative work and tribute is built from fragments of memories. It allows me to put into images a dark and confusing past that I was only told by the media.

PHOTOGRAPHY
with Thomas Mailaender
This workshop, directed by Thomas Mailaender, was aimed at students in the second year of their Bachelor's degree in Photography. The students were immersed in the art of physically constructing an image and its presentation device. The idea was to broaden their artistic horizons through an awareness of installation, scenography and sculpture. The creative atmosphere of the workshop was enriched by a bold touch, where the singular smell of waste added an unexpected sensory dimension, transforming each creation into a unique exploration. Thomas Mailaender challenged the students to push the boundaries of photographic creativity. The project then took the form of an exhibition in Chavannes-Près-Renens. At the heart of this immersive experience, images were projected, hung, cut and superimposed, giving rise to unique, innovative and immersive works.
