History and theory of photography

HUM-269

The class offers an introduction to the history of photography trough the presentation of ten key notions, analysed historically from the 19th to the 21st century.

Picture history I

HUM-418

The class proposes to examine Expo 64, the Swiss National Exhibition held in Lausanne in 1964, inviting students to conceive a critical reimagining of the event in the context of a hypothetical seventh Swiss national exhibition in 2034.

Picture history II

HUM-467

The seminar proposes to conceive a series of hypothetical contributions to a possible seventh Swiss national exhibition in 2034, which would take the form of an update of Expo 64 on the very site of the 1964 national exhibition in Lausanne.
