| | | | | | | | | | | | | From 27 November 2024 to 16 March 2025, L'Appartement – Espace Images Vevey presents four artists : Sara De Brito Faustino, Debi Cornwall, Christian Patterson and Alberto Vieceli. For its tenth edition of exhibitions, L'Appartement – Espace Images Vevey presents four installations that explore the domestic universe and highlight the unique qualities that make our living spaces so intensely personal.
In LES CHAMBRES, Winner of the 2023 Images Vevey × ECAL Award, Sara De Brito Faustino recreates the interior of the appartement of her childhood creating an intimate and theatrical mise en abyme.
In LE COULOIR, Alberto Vieceli collected over 300 vinyl record sleeves on which artists and animals, both domestic and wild, pose together, presented thourgh an installation that reveals the special place that this quintessential vintage object occupies in our homes.
In LE CINEMA, Debi Cornwall revisits the Hollywood dramas and B-movies of the last fifty years and provides a different perspective on the United States in an experimental short film presented in the home cinéma of L'Appartement.
Last but not least, in LE SALON, through a series of photographs taken over a period of twenty years, the laureate of the Grand Prix Images Vevey 2015/2016 Christian Patterson unveils the interior of a bankrupt family-run grocery store in the southern US, where groceries, practical items and household goods used to be sold piled on the shelves. | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A Home with No Roof © ECAL/Sara De Brito Faustino | | | | | | | | 27 November 2024 to 16 March 2025 | | | A Home with No Roof is a series of photographs in which Sara De Brito Faustino depicts the dysfunctional home of her childhood. Using models and self-portraits, she reconstructs the interior of her house, haunted by her own sometimes painful memories. Winner of the 2023 Images Vevey × ECAL Award, the project explores the tension between familiarity and the strangeness of the ordinary. Through an interplay of scales and textures, each room has been meticulously designed to reflect the principle of her images within the space and accentuates the confusion between reality and its reproduction. The project reveals both the artist's vulnerability and her strength of emancipation thanks to the playful and expressive potential of photography.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Debi Cornwall Pineland/Hollywood | | | | | | | | 27 November 2024 to 16 March 2025 | | | | What is at stake in a militarised country where truth blurs into fiction? Made in 2021, Pineland/Hollywood combines over 500 sequences taken from some 200 Hollywood productions over the last fifty years. Starting with a roadside checkpoint sequence, this experimental short film develops a narrative from two points of view in which discerning truth from falsehood becomes crucial. By skilfully linking together extracts from crime, action and courtroom films, Debi Cornwall encourages us to rethink how these fictionalised stories of real state violence are packaged for our consumption as entertainment. Pineland/Hollywood condemns the police violence, injustice and systemic racism that pervade American society. | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Gong Co. by Christian Patterson | | | | | | | | 27 November 2024 to 16 March 2025 | | | Gong Co. is a monumental memento mori about the disappearance of a family-run grocery store in the American South. In 2003, Christian Patterson discovered this Mississippi shop, appearing as a unwitting time capsule filled with expired products. The photographer spent twenty years documenting the slow deterioration of this shop, which was closed in 2013 and stripped in 2019. Alternating between on-the-spot and studio shots, trompe-l'oeil collages and handwritten notes, Patterson meticulously recreates every last detail of the shop. Awarded the Grand Prix Images Vevey 2015/2016, Gong Co. took shape as a book-object and becomes both a testament to a bygone era, an outdated representation of twentieth century America, and a personal testimony to impermanence.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alberto Vieceli Pet Sounds | | | | | | | | 27 November 2024 to 16 March 2025 | | | | Pet Sounds is an installation featuring vinyl record sleeves of musicians alongside animals. Inspired by the Beach Boys' 1966 album, Alberto Vieceli collected 320 record sleeves from around thirty countries. The Beatles on horseback, Brigitte Bardot with her cat, Michael Jackson with a tiger or Patti Smith with doves on her hands: the portraits are as bizarre as they are touching. Artists often pose with their pets, adding a personal touch to the album covers. Vieceli’s collection of LPs and 45s from 1955 to 2019 highlights their similarities and reveals a recurring marketing strategy by record companies. Pet Sounds humorously combines wildlife and glamorous portrait photography, offering a unique experience for music lovers and fans of vernacular imagery. | | | | | | | | unsubscribe here
