History and theory of photography
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
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
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.
