Carte blanche to Flurina Rothenberger.
For its third exhibition, L’Appartement – Espace Images Vevey has given free rein to photographer Flurina Rothenberger. Born in Switzerland and raised in the town of Zuénoula in Ivory Coast, she devoted most of her career to taking photographs of the continent where she grew up. Her personal narrative and resolutely cooperative artistic practice demonstrate Africa’s multiple reality. In keeping with her strong unifying spirit, she has taken over all the rooms in L’Appartement, while respecting their specific uses, to showcase a series of projects in which collaboration is key. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

LES CHAMBRES: NICE & UNFOLDED (Pemba, 2016, Abidjan, 2017, Katlehong, 2019) | | | | A magazine can be a public space, a gallery, and an academy, all in one. NICE elicits this diverse potential unique to editorials. Flurina Rothenberger and Rahel Arnold gave the impetus for each of its three issues, bringing creatives together to combine their photography, journalism, visual design and social action as an editorial collective. This collaborative approach typifies Rothenberger’s entire artistic practice. Her photographs, taken in Ivory Coast and South Africa, form a visual essay. Monika Schori’s spatial intervention transforms our gaze, depending on where we position ourselves as viewers. | | | | |

LE CINÉMA: N‘ZASSA (Ivory Coast, Switzerland) | | | | Ivory Coast is a major world player in slam poetry. Under the guidance of Flurina Rothenberger and the Ivorian poet Bee Joe, CEPV photography students worked remotely in tandem with slammers in Abidjan to create visual poems. As they swapped words and images, their creative disciplines merged to hatch a series of raw rhythmic videos. | | | | | | unsubscribe here
