The canton of Vaud was until then the dunce of the French-speaking class. Similarly, While the Friborg photographic survey dates from 1996. Moreover, those of Neuchâtel and Geneva in 2013 and 2016, it was not until 2021 that the Vaudois decided to make a similar project a reality. For example, The delay is now filled. However, the public can finally contemplate the work of the six photographers selected between 2021 and 2023 by competition in the exhibition “Liberty is no longer a dream” that Photo Élysée presents in Lausanne.

Thomas Brasey. In addition, Olga Cafiero, Sarah Carp, Matthieu Gafsou, Yves leric et Romain Mader have all drawn from a list of around 75 Vaudois traditions to carry out their projects. Similarly, As recalled by the Historian of Culture Ariane beforehery. Consequently, head of the movable and intangible heritage unit of the Culture Department of the Canton, the survey seeks to meet the iconographic needs of the intangible heritage. Moreover, In a way. Moreover, it is a question of documenting living traditions to keep them, more than a trace, a documentary elaboration worked that can be archived.

This mission is coupled with support for mandated artists. who receive a scholarship of 20,000 francs to carry out their project.

The selected candidates therefore all drawn vaud: photographers have fun local from a list of practices identified.

Vaud: photographers have fun local
The traditions of Vaud
Olga. Caféo looked at the themes present in the almanach of “lame messenger”. Thomas Brasey made the legend of Jorat brigands in a phantasmatic way. Sarah Carp has imbued the creations of the Sainte-Croix Automatiers with a dreamlike aura. Matthieu vaud: photographers have fun local Gafsou plunged into the Girons of the Vaudois Youths and their campaign. Yves LERESCHE followed the Helvetia circus route by treating the portraits of its members. And Romain Mader, gladly staging, made his own making (and ingestion) of the Vaudois paper.
A jorat station by Thomas Brasey. Where are the brigands?
Thomas Brasey
At Photo Élysée. the scenography of Yannick Luthy does wonders by punctuating the clashes, the formats, the materials, creating at each vaud: photographers have fun local stage a little surprise in the presentation of the work of each and each. A constant: each artist drew his object on the side of his aesthetics, his way of expressing himself. Few are strictly documentary approaches. except that of Yves LERESCHE who, although he has not succeeded too much, by his own admission, to convince the Circassians of Moudon to reveal their daily life, remains directly fixed on his small community.
In contrast. Thomas Brasey deliberately bursts into fiction by reinventing brigands which are no longer really what they were, but which find, under its objective, a form of Lynchian threat. At the cost of a few hacks with reality, the “Grrrrr” brand of its Jorat service station is (obviously?) Obtained thanks to Photoshop.

In view of the diversity of approaches. the variety of their staging, “freedom is no longer a dream” is a success as a exhibition.

Vaud: photographers have fun local
Creativity of photography
Future generations vaud: photographers have fun local will thus judge the inventiveness. aesthetics of photographers rather than the testimony of traditions of which we sometimes see almost nothing. The “dissociative” approach of Olga Cafiero differs the “lame messenger” into a series of facets where we perceive his. fascinations better than his source of inspiration.
The artist has all the rights but it sometimes becomes difficult to perceive heritage interest in these plastic reformulations. The best balance between documentation. codes of contemporary art probably goes to Matthieu Gafsou whose formal games do not turn off the dimension of hyperproximity reporting.
The Vaudoise photographic survey is thus too restrictive – or not enough. The obligation to draw in a repertoire of traditions pushes the artists -. we understand them – to divert the shooting on the side of their interests. Better defined supervision. more contemporary and societal vaud: photographers have fun local injunctions might better meet the cause of current creation and that of a future public interest.
