Large-scale projections by ECAL students light up the façades of Photo Elysée and mudac at Plateforme 10 in Lausanne. They can be seen free of charge every evening from Thursday 3 to Thursday 31 December 2026.
The story
Lausanne Lumières launched the project by bringing ECAL and Photo Elysée together. In December 2023, ten students in photography, graphic design and media design created the projections, and five works were selected.
The 2024 edition ran from 7 to 29 December. It grew out of a video mapping course taken by second-year Bachelor of Photography students, supervised by Jean-Vincent Simonet.
The 2026 edition extends the exhibition Modèle animal, 200 ans de photographie (Animal Model, 200 Years of Photography), shown at Photo Elysée.
Who organises it
Photo Elysée and ECAL, the Lausanne University of Art and Design, create the projections. mudac shares the building's façade.
What to find
Animals take over the façades in a festive spirit.
ECAL students explore our fascination with animal images, from cuteness to performance and virality.
