| Johanna-Maria Fritz BUTSCHA, UKRAINE, 2022 Series: A Grave in the Garden Fine Art Print, 60 x 50 cm / 100 x 80 cm Edition of 6 + 2 AP | | | | 17 January – 25 February 2023 | | | | | | | | "When the war in Ukraine started on 24.02.2022, I was still in Afghanistan. The news shocked me, of course, and I immediately thought about how and when I could travel to Ukraine. On Sunday, 27 February, I set off together with other journalists in the direction of Kyiv. Via Lviv we drove into the unknown, we didn‘t really know what the situation was like in Kyiv and were spontaneously allowed to accompany an escort with the famous waistcoats and helmets from Germany. We drove quickly and always with a police escort from the respective region. We stayed in and around Kyjiw for a fortnight and concentrated heavily on Irpin. Later we also visited Vasylkiw and other surrounding towns. But the places in the north remain strongly in my mind. Especially Butscha: one day after the liberation, we were almost the first journalists to visit the place. The people were happy about the end of the occupation, but the wounds of war were still present at every corner. Killed and executed Ukrainians lay everywhere on the streets, in houses, gardens or cellars. It was only after the liberation that the inhabitants of Butscha understood the extent of the terror and so there were many exhumations in gardens and burials in the cemetery every day." Johanna-Maria Fritz officially lives in Berlin - but in reality she is on the road all year round. She studied photography at the Ostkreuzschule and has been a member of the agency of the same name since the beginning of 2019. Her photos have been published in Spiegel, Zeit, National Geographic and Newsweek China, among others, and most recently in Stern and GEO. She has been awarded the Inge Morath Prize, the Lotto Brandenburg Prize and the VG-Bild Scholarship for her work. | |

| Nico Krijno / from the series The Constellation, 2022 Framed archival inkjet print with museumglass Available in three sizes / Edition of 3 plus 1 AP | | | | 21 January ‐ 4 March 2023 | | Opening: Saturday 21 January 2023, 5 ‐ 7pm | | | | | | | | For our first exhibition of 2023, the Ravestijn Gallery is proud to present ‘The Constellation’ – a dizzying show of vibrant works by South African artist Nico Krijno (b. 1981). In a riot of colours and meandering forms, Krijno’s abstract works consider and apply photography’s many visual codes, symbols and patterns – as part of a bid to investigate the history of the image. The playful practice of performance defines Krijno’s process throughout, inviting a closer interrogation of modes of creation in and of themselves. From staged photography to collage and video works, the densely-textured images that Krijno conceives are invariably hard to pin down. Synthetic, layered, digitally-manipulated, painterly, puzzling, enthralling; each one is unfixed and seemingly infinite, with a number focal points to absorb simultaneously. In the act of looking, the familiar traces – those things we recognise – are displaced and buried under elements we don’t. All the while, we rarely look away, succumbing instead to the works’ many mysteries. | |

| De la série American Diorama – Streets, 2011 © Véronique Kolber | | Saison 2022 – 2023: Kaleidoscope | | Clervaux - cité de l'image enters its new season 2022-2023 with 6 new open-air exhibitions. Co-produced by the Centre national de l'audiovisuel (CNA), this new edition focuses on the diversity of photographic creation in Luxembourg. | | Marie Capesius » Heliopolis (2017-2019) Veronique Kolber » American Diorama – Streets (2011) Boris Loder » Particles, 2016-2019 Bruno Oliveira » Coentro e Cachorros (2018) Marc Schroeder » Corona 2020 – Scenes of the Pandemic (2020) Jeanine Unsen » I love you baby. Portraits de femmes résilientes (2016-2018) | | ... until 9 October 2023 | | | | | | | | Various photographic installations throughout the city of Clervaux transform it into an open-air gallery. Discover the work of national and international contemporary photographers in an extraordinary setting: on the walls of houses, in flowering gardens and along the narrow streets. Six different visions invite us on a journey, each uniquely opening up a world that unfolds in photography and lingers in our imagination. A play of momentary dialogues strikes up between the images, their open air exhibition setting – as it changes with the seasons - and the viewer that contemplates them. The photographers transform the image of the city and the gaze we bring to bear upon it by way of reflections from elsewhere. The 2022-2023 photographic season celebrates the diversity of Luxembourg creation through the work of six contemporary photographers. On the market square, we set out with Bruno Oliveira to Cap Vert, via a documentary collection shot through with personal sensations, while along the rise to the church, Véronique Kolber presents a series of American street scenes, captured through her lens, that resonate in our cinematographic memory. Behind the church, Marie Capesius, by way of calm and sensual images, explores the question of paradise and the contrasts between the two worlds that co-exist on the Ile du Levant. Inspired by the methods of archaeology, Boris Loder collects objects, examines them, and thus condenses the identities of the City of Luxembourg’s various neighbourhoods and their stereotypes into sculptural photographs that can be seen in the arcades of Grand- Rue. On the Castle concourse, we are greeted by Marc Schroeder’s black and white minimalist photographs capturing urban landscapes which seem to follow a strict graphic logic. While in the Castle gardens, the women portrayed by Jeannine Unsen share with us a moment that is both intimate and intense. Thus, by way of these encounters, different paths, readings and connections interweave to keep us questioning. | |

| Josef Koudelka, "CZECHOSLOVAKIA, Prague, August 1968, Warsaw Pact troops invasion" © Josef Koudelka/Magnum Photos, Courtesy of the Josef Koudelka Foundation | | | | ... until 29 January 2023 | | | | | | | | As a first survey exhibition in Switzerland since 1977 devoted exclusively to the work of Josef Koudelka, the exhibition and accompanying book offer new insights into his career. In particular a part of his personal archive, namely the 30,000 35-mm contact sheets from 1960-2012, has been researched and presented. Ikonar is the nickname Josef Koudelka received from a group of Roma he met on his travels. They called him an "icon maker" because they used his famous photographs of Roma communities as quasi-religious icons in their place of worship. Although he is an internationally recognised “image maker", Koudelka considers himself more a “collector of his own images" than a photographer. Aiming to capture the essence of the artist’s worldview, this exhibition is built around key works from his most important series on 35mm film, including Theatre, Gypsies, Invasion 68 and Exiles. However, the exhibition includes not only an installation entirely dedicated to his archives, which seeks to analyse their place in the personal and artistic career of one of the major players in 20th century photography, but also a reference library with a wide selection of his books. | |

| DOKU – Binary conflicts invert illusions, 2022. Production image. Cover design for King Kong magazine, issue 13 SS22. Courtesy the artist. | | | | ... until 12 February 2023 | | | | | | | | This year's annual commission is a major new solo exhibition by the highly acclaimed Chinese multi-media artist LuYang . The exhibition will feature the world premiere of a new Zabludowicz Collection commission, alongside multiple immersive moving image installations, an interactive arcade gaming space, and a screening room presenting the ‘greatest hits’ of the artist’s videos from across the last decade. Visitors will be invited to step into the worlds LuYang creates. LuYang’s work destabilises the divisions between past and future, human and machine, and life and death, reflected in the title of the exhibition, which incorporates the Sanskrit expression ‘Neti Neti’, meaning “not this, not that”, or “neither this, nor that”. Immersed in the cultures of anime, video games and sci-fi, the artist’s wildly engaging and darkly humorous projects are all-consuming in their visual and sonic intensity. They combine aspects of traditional spiritual belief with motifs from science and medicine to investigate the mysteries and mechanics of the human body and mind. The exhibition will centre on DOKU, LuYang’s own digital avatar. Using advanced motion capture and CGI animation technology, DOKU combines ancient ideas of reincarnation with a contemporary exploration of the multiplicity of the self. LuYang has created six versions of the DOKU avatar to date, corresponding to the six paths of reincarnation as described in Buddhism. The movements assigned to these characters … | |

| | Isabelle Hayeur: Newts in Oregon, 2019 - 2020, inkjet on photographic paper, 150 cm x 167 cm | | | | ... until 5 February 2023 | | | | | | | | The exhibition Histoires d’eau by Isabelle Hayeur brings together photographs and videos that explore various issues related to water. The theme of water, an essential element that sustains life on our planet, has run through the work of this artist from the very beginning. Political and deeply poetic at the same time, the pieces taken from the Underworlds series draw attention to the degradation of bodies of water. The artist’s uncommon perspective and the grand scale of her photographs take us to the heart of the matter. In Florida, Hayeur photographed manatees as she swam with them in the brackish waters around the city of Crystal River. These tranquil mammals of the tropics have practically no predators but they are threatened by human activity, particularly due to injuries from boat propellers. The protection of water and aquatic ecosystems is one of the main environmental concerns of today’s society. In the series Le Camp de la Rivière and Dépayser, Hayeur has photographed militants who are fighting for a healthier environment and a more equitable world. She dwells on the question of citizens’ struggles while taking a critical look at human intervention that contributes to the alteration of landscapes and the deterioration of habitats. Hayeur’s recent work explores the drought and water crisis that have been plaguing the American West for the past twenty years. In California, she has photographed the Salton Sea, a heavily polluted landlocked body of water that is slowly dying. Her video Between Wind and Water looks at water management as it relates to the watering of the golf courses of the Palm Desert. Situated between hope and denunciation, Isabelle Ha… | |

| from Riverboom 2002-2022 | | | | L'APPARTEMENT SESSION 5 : Carte blanche à Riverboom | | Claude Baechtold » Edoardo Delille » Gabriele Galimberti » Serge Michel » Alexandre Tzonis » Paolo Woods » | | ... until 19 February 2023 | | | | | | | | For its fifth session of exhibitions, Images Vevey has given free rein to the Italian-Swiss collective Riverboom that has been based in an apartment in Vevey for the past twenty years. Riverboom was founded in 2002 by a small group of aspiring war journalists in a valley in north-west Afghanistan, through which the river Boom flows. Over the past twenty years, Riverboom has published books, created exhibitions, produced films, and organised parties, while predominantly being a stage for inner struggles. The Riverboomers, Claude Baechtold, Edoardo Delille, Gabriele Galimberti, Serge Michel, Alexandre Tzonis and Paolo Woods are photographers, filmmakers, graphic designers, journalists, and writers. Having surrendered their youthful vitality for the banal obligations that come with age, they are making the most of the invitation extended by L'Appartement to flaunt, as most ageing stars do, their soon to be long-gone 'Greatest Hits' and the five founding principles of their (dys)functioning.

| Jean Painlevé: Hippocampe dans les algues [Seahorse in Seaweed], ca. 1934 © Les Documents Cinématographiques / Archives Jean Painlevé, Paris | | Jean Painlevé » Feet in the Water | | ... until 12 February 2023 | | | | | | | | French film director Jean Painlevé (1902–1989) had a passion for scientific cinema. He was interested in engaging a broad audience in the discovery of natural science through film and devoted most of his life to documenting fauna – especially species from the underwater world. Over a period of more than 50 years, Painlevé shot over 200 short films, marked by his characteristic approach, which he developed through meticulous observation, technical mastery and experimentation. The works in the exhibition – a selection of numerous black-and-white and colour films, photographs and documents – reflect not only his engagement with science but also his desire to share the mysteries of living matter and creatures that inhabit Earth. Painlevé used film to explore living organisms using certain techniques to reveal characteristics of their life cycles and their anatomy. He made precise observations of his subjects and recorded their movements and processes of development. Painlevé began by concentrating on marine life: crabs, shrimps, octopuses and sea urchins. These creatures inhabit the coast, especially the foreshore – the border zone between land and sea that is washed by the tides. Painlevé’s films include shots that show the animals filmed full-size but also at microscopic scales. These graphic images, the careful editing and his use of both slow motion and time lapse offer us an unusual journey into the curious world of underwater creatures, their bodies and their habitats. "It is obvious, that movement, which is specific to cinema, adds a grace or astonishing power to forms. Simple or complicated, the lines and rhythms are recorded like a form of the eternal. It is … | |

| Peter Knapp, Grace Coddington, for Vogue, London, 1971 © Peter Knapp / Fotostiftung Schweiz | | Peter Knapp » Mon Temps | | ... until 12 February, 2023 | | | | | | | | Peter Knapp’s ideas on layout and typography, along with his dynamic photographs, made the magazine Elle a leading medium in the fashion industry from the 1960s onwards. Fotostiftung Schweiz presents a selection from around 700 donated photographs by Peter Knapp. While paying tribute to this outstanding Swiss designer’s oeuvre, the exhibition brings to life the mood of an epoch and the societal transformation that took place within it. "What drives me is the act of translating ideas into images. I want to visualise my thoughts, to express my fantasies and stories pictorially. Je ne prends pas de photos, je les fais." With this credo, Peter Knapp, born in 1931 in Bäretswil, Zürcher Oberland, became an influential figure in the international fashion world during the 1960s and ’70s. After studying at the Zurich School of Applied Arts, he had great success, especially as art director at Paris-based magazine Elle. In a time of social upheaval, which was reflected to no small extent in fashion, he found the right images for the liberation of the body and mind. Elle, a leading medium of emancipation under editor-in-chief Hélène Lazareff, contributed significantly to a buoyant democratisation of women’s clothing: prêt-à-porter instead of haute-couture, minijupe instead of corset, functionality instead of stiff ele… | |
