In her photography and video work, Elisa Larvego believes in the long haul, immersing herself in the subject, rather than the decisive moment.
At Centre culturel Saint-Cyprien, the artist presents a series of photographs from her stays in places of refuge for exiles, the Refuge Solidaire in Briançon and the Maurice Scève squat in Lyon. She takes a sober and strong look at a disturbing social reality. Against the tide of dehumanizing migration policies, Elisa Larvego concerns herself with daily life in these of refuge for exiles, the Refuge Solidaire in Briançon and the Maurice Scève squat in Lyon.
With the support of the Centre national des arts plastiques for documentary photography; with the support of Pro Helvetia, Fondation Suisse pour la culture, and the association Astrapia; with the support of Fondation Engelberts; exhibition subsidised by the City of Geneva.
