Images Vevey is renowned for the creation of unique scenography and the impressive dimensions of its installations in various parts of the town of Vevey, thus inviting its audience to experience images differently. To arouse festivalgoers’ curiosity, striking new indoor venues nestled in Vevey’s town centre will welcome seasoned Festival regulars and newcomers alike! | | | | | | | | | | Alec Soth, Untitled 26 from Dog-Days, Bogotá © Alec Soth, Magnum Photos | | | L’APPARTEMENT – ESPACE IMAGES VEVEY: A NEW GATEWAY TO THE FESTIVAL
Images Vevey invites visitors to explore its new permanent art space in the heart of Vevey’s train station, formerly serving as railway workers’ housing. L’Appartement – Espace Images Vevey is showcasing projects by four internationally renowned artists: Bertien van Manen, Alec Soth, Gillian Wearing and Carmen Winant.
As is the custom every two years, there is great suspense as to which colossal photograph Images Vevey has selected to entirely cover the frontage of a building, opposite the train station. This edition, let's be teleported to the legendary Milan Cathedral, a photograph taken by Thomas Struth in 1998, printed on a 500 m2 canvas. This famous German photographer invites the festivalgoers to embark on a novel itinerary to discover four of his masterpieces displayed on distinctive buildings around the town of Vevey. | | | | | | | | | | Diana Markosian – Santa Barbara | | | THE FESTIVAL HOTSPOT
The Festival bar is another key venue of the event. This year it will be proposing some sporty amusement with the installation of a minigolf realised by the Belgian artist Vincen Beeckman. Right next door, in the Salle del Castillo, the epicentre of the Festival, a photographic and video installation by the artist Diana Markosian will plunge festival-goers into a remake of the cult soap opera Santa Barbara. | | | | | | | | | |
| | IMAGES VEVEY NOW PUBLISHES ITS OWN BOOKS
Since 2020, Images Vevey has been pursuing its role as a publisher of photographic books and, during the second weekend of the Festival, on Saturday 10 September 2022, it will present its publishing house. The latest Editions Images Vevey publication is Lux in Tenebris by Vincent Jendly, a Swiss artist whose work was exhibited at the 2020 Biennial.
