The postcard, a furtive encounter with art

written by Vinciane Vuilleumier

We hang it on the wall, stick it in a notebook, slip it into a book, send it to a loved one, keep it preciously in a wooden box with the rest of the collection: the postcard is everywhere. There's nothing quite as vivid a feeling as finding a postcard in a second-hand book that wasn't once ours, and which bears the markings of an exchange or a memory we've missed.

The work as a place of memory

By Vinciane Vuilleumier · 25 March 2021

Memory is elastic: it can be configured at will - and will it must. This requires a certain asceticism, of course, because in numbers, relief is lost: to choose is to renounce, said André Gide. And that's the key: to reduce the quantity of content that crosses our consciousness, to pay attention with discernment, so that certain content becomes a node in a memory network that can be chiselled like a work of art.

When Monique Rey's poetry marries René Bersier's photography

By Loris S. Musumeci · 07 November 2019

ENTRETIEN, Loris S. Musumeci | Nous sommes face à deux grands personnages, en dépit de leur humilité et de leur discrétion. Monique Rey consacre sa vie à la transmission de la culture et la création poétique; René Bersier est un photographe dont le travail contribue fortement au paysage artistique helvétique. La rencontre de ces deux passionnés remonte à bien des années. Ce qui les a menés à réaliser des livres alliant la poésie de l’une à la photographie de l’autre pour offrir au lecteur – ou peut-être au spectateur – des ouvrages de grande qualité, dont la promenades entre les pages émeut qui sait s’y immerger.
