Focale, Place du Château 4, 1260 Nyon
Hommage à Luca Zanier is an exhibition in honour of the photographer, whose work SPACE AND ENERGY was exhibited at FOCALE in 2015 and who sadly passed away last year.
This is a look back at his remarkable work on the high places of power and the other side of the energy industry: SPACE AND ENERGY, CORRIDORS OF POWER and PAPERWORLD/CYBERWORLD.
Through his images, Luca Zanier has managed to captivate our gaze by taking us into little-known or even confidential places, all devoid of human presence. He has succeeded in capturing the enigmatic and unusual aspects of these worlds created by and for human beings, and in magnetising and engaging the viewer.
"Mon intention est de rendre visible, d’une manière artistique, [ces lieux de pouvoir]. Dans ce processus, l’information en tant que telle passe au second plan. Il s’agit plutôt de photographier des perspectives, des couleurs et des formes. Ce que je cherche, c’est la dissolution de la technique dans l’esthétique. Le spectateur se trouve confronté à un système ultracomplexe duquel dépend notre vie moderne, un système qui, en même temps, nous fascine et nous fait peur". Luca Zanier
opening: 29.02.2024 from 6 pm
exhibition presentation: 6.30pm
The exhibition can be visited from Wednesday to Sunday from 2pm to 6pm
(open on public holidays)
