"L'Appartement - Espace Images Vevey" is the new permanent showcase for Images Vevey's activities. This art space will host around fifteen artist projects and exhibitions per year, free of charge. It will provide a link between two editions of the Images Vevey biennial and will help to keep the "Vevey ville d'images" label alive throughout the year.
This new space for contemporary photography is located in the main hall of the Vevey railway station, in the former railwaymen's apartments. It is from this historical background that it takes its name of "L'Appartement - Espace Images Vevey". The particularity of L'Appartement is that each of its rooms is assigned to a particular exhibition format. By preserving the original aspect of the building and transforming its primary function, Images Vevey aims to offer a visitor experience that reflects the surprising and convivial image of its biennial event. L'Appartement will therefore continue to host four artists' pro- jects simultaneously and will continue to organise its exhibitions according to its four main living areas | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

When Strawberries Will Grow on Trees, I Will Kiss U
During three months of confinement in the spring of 2020, Nicolas Polli went through a period of profound solitude and uncertainty. He then drew on his artistic resources to stage this fragility that he had never felt so strongly. Confronting his enclosure, he frantically began to compose still life and images from everyday objects. His imagination challenges his doubts and desires. In his depopulated apartment, he gives meaning to banality. His own body also becomes the object of new attention: vulnerable, it demands a fantasized presence. Sensitivity is mixed with sensuality when Polli addresses short poems to an unknown, idealized and eroticized figure. Finally, his series When Strawberries Will Grow on Trees, I Will Kiss U paints a sin- cere and delicate portrait of a universal loneliness. | | | | | | | | | | À table avec Nico ! © Nicolas Polli | | | Nicolas Polli (Switzerland)
À table avec Nico !
When artist Nicolas Polli photographs the disturbing still lifes he creates in his home, magic happens: courgettes do the balanc- ing act, a few twisted spoons become characters, loaves of bread serve as slippers and cutlery seem to levitate. Fifteen jubilant images are brought together in a playful display, spe- cially designed to inspire children at the heart of L'Appartement - Espace Images Vevey. | | | | |

The Hero Mother – How to Build a House
edition Witty Books / Images Vevey | | | | | | | | | | © Peter Puklus, The Hero Mother – How to Build a House | | | | | | | In this 2017/2018 Images Vevey Grand Prix winning series, Peter Puklus deconstructs the dynamics of pre-established female and male roles: motherhood as a presumed heroic activity and the father's assumed duty to build and protect the home. Premiered internationally at the 2018 edition of the Images Vevey Festival with an immersive installation, the project continues today as an artist's book co-published by Witty Books and Images Vevey. | | | | | | | | | | © Peter Puklus, The Hero Mother – How to Build a House | | | | | | | By deploying an extraordinary visual and pictorial vocabulary around his own family unit, Puklus breaks down the symbols traditionally associated with maternal and paternal fig- ures. Throughout the pages, he shares with the reader his doubts, his states of mind and his vulnerability. | | | | |

By compiling fragments of vernacular images, Marie Noury conducts a videographic investigation where words, expressions and gestures interact around this mysterious photograph taken from her family archive. Memories vary like interpretations. Between reveries and revelations, Nous voir ensemble questions with tenderness the power of the pho- tographic image, of words and of emotional memory. | | | | | | | | | | Nous voir ensemble © Marie Noury | | | | | | unsubscribe here
