The Musée Historique Lausanne presents « Photo-sensible » until Sunday 14 March 2027. The exhibition brings together glass-plate negatives by the Lausanne photographer André Schmid and contemporary works.
Who organises it
The exhibition is presented by the Musée Historique Lausanne, with the ECAL Bachelor in Photography. The curator is Diana Le Dinh.
What to find
André Schmid (1836-1914) was a photographer in Lausanne. His glass-plate negatives are shown as works in their own right, for the strength of their material.
The artists Léonore Baud and Olivier Jeannin present their work. Fifteen ECAL students show photo and video projects based on Schmid’s archives, studio scenes, portraits of his granddaughter, animals and views of Lausanne.
A tour « ECAL after Schmid » takes place on 4 Feb. 2027, 5 pm, by registration on 021 315 41 01. A 120-page book accompanies the exhibition.
