The artists nominated by

Centre de la photographie Genève
in
2024

Mathilda Olmi and eden levi am have each been selected for their strong projects produced in very recent years. With these new bodies of work, their practice has reached a new level of commitment towards the issues they address with nuance, complexity and a visually unique approach. While their work has attracted significant attention in the last years, both of their careers have so far been primarily situated within the Swiss photography and contemporary art scenes. With their nomination to FUTURES in 2023, CPG hopes that new opportunities to develop and circulate their work will arise from their integration in the platform.

‍

Laurence Rasti and Tim Rod have been selected for FUTURES 2024 by Centre de la photographie Genève (CPG) for  their ongoing research-based long-term projects. While their approaches and the issues they address differ significantly, both artists are actively pushing the boundaries of the photographic image, challenging and reappropriating its capacities to represent and document, in order to tackle  complex social and personal issues. With their nomination to FUTURES in 2024, CPG aims to bring an increased visibility to their work at the international level.

Laurence Rasti
Laurence Rasti was born in 1990 to Iranian parents in Switzerland. She studied photography at ECAL – University of Art and Design Lausanne (BA, 2014) and fine arts at HEAD – Geneva University of Art and Design (MA, 2019). Her projects often explore issues surrounding identity, visibility, legitimacy and representation. Drawing from the duality of her own cultural background, she examines Swiss and Iranian cultural codes and conventions in order to understand the influence of gender roles in society. The consequences of migration or the non-respect of fundamental rights is another strong focus of many of her recent projects. Her book "There Are No Homosexuals in Iran" (Edition Patrick Frey, 2017) was shortlisted for the Paris Photo Aperture First Photobook Award, the Author Book Award of Rencontres d’Arles, and nominated as one of the 10 best photobooks of 2017 by the New York Times Magazine. Her work has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions around the world, including "ReGeneration3" at Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne, "Disruptive Perspectives" at Museum of Contemporary in Chicago and Photoforum Pasquart in Biel, "Iran Contemporary" at Fotohof Art Gallery in Austria, and several festivals including PhotoKatmandu, Athens Photo Festival and Tokyo International Photography Festival. She was the laureate of the Photographic Survey of the City of Geneva in 2019, and of the Photographic Survey of Canton Neuchâtel in 2022.
