Hordes & Nuées, Festival Images, CEPV, Vevey, CH
Hordes & Nuées [Hordes & Swarms] is a visual essay about animality, bringing together in a narrative sequence 104 appropriated images from 56 photographers. It explores our relationship to animality in an exuberant visual assemblage where the postures, attitudes and gestures of men and animals echo one another. Images abound and ricochet, exposing our feral part, buried but ready to erupt. The exhibition presents itself as a fiery and carnal parade, whose ferocity is tinged with tenderness and where brutality merges into grace.
All 56 photographers have close ties with the CEPV photography school – current and former students in majority but also lecturers and teachers – and exhibition thus also offers a portrayal of the institution.
Curated by Danaé Panchaud & Myriam Ziehli
