Camera Obscura et les artefacts de l'invisible

Introduction

Through fruitful collaborations I initiated my master diploma project at HEAD with a Biodesign for the Real World, community of citizen scientists in Lausanne. With artist and biotech researcher Sachiko Hirosue from EPFL, I engaged with issues related to the understanding of the anthropocene. This approach lead her to conduct a field of study aimed at mapping how human socio-activity left its footprint on the Rhône Valley. The water samples collected along the way have been made visible through a camera obscura – that I entirely designed an developed with the priceless support of Marc Wettstein and people form Makerspace Univecité– and that represents environmental changes in the region since 1960’s.
