Olga Cafiero × Naturéum

(IN)ANIMALIS
22.06 – 29.09.2024
Signal L

Olga Cafiero has been given carte blanche to explore the Naturéum's collections. Through her photographic series, she captures the perpetual accumulation of time. She plays with colors and materials to create and represent each object. By bringing zoological, botanical and geological specimens to life, she opens up new perspectives on the natural sciences.

Olga Cafiero takes over Plateforme 10's Le Signal L space at the suggestion of Photo Elysée and Naturéum.

Olga Cafiero

Olga Cafiero (1982) is a Swiss-Italian photographer. A graduate in photography from ECAL (Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne), she explores the intersections of art and science, as well as the processes of accumulation and transmission of knowledge. Her work seeks to capture the beauty and complexity of nature. Using visual languages and themes specific to science, Olga Cafiero reappropriates these elements to offer a different perspective on the natural world.

Her work is regularly exhibited in Switzerland and abroad, and has won numerous awards and prizes: Foam Talent, Hyères Festival of Fashion and Photography (finalist), Swiss Design Award (winner in 2011 and selected in 2022), Enquête photographique Neuchâteloise (winner in 2020), and Enquête photographique Vaudoise (winner in 2023).

Exhibition views

Le Signal L

Plateforme 10's venue Signal L gives artists the chance to showcase our corner of the country, the Canton of Vaud, each in their own way and style.

Several times a year, an artist is invited to come and take a cross-sectional look at an institution or event in French-speaking Switzerland to broaden and vary the scope of Plateforme 10's artistic action, extending beyond fine arts, design and photography.

With the support of the Leenaards Foundation.
