Collectif_fact
Landis & Gyr Stiftung Residency
2024
The collectif_fact comprises Annelore Schneider and Claude Piguet. Their work, primarily video, reflects contemporary image economies, surroundings, production, and consumption. Using speculative worlds and fiction production, their practice investigates images' pervasive, alienating, and ecological impacts on our lives.
Collectif_fact exhibitions include Maison européenne de la photographie, Paris, Centre d’art contemporain, Geneva, Centre Culturel Suisse, Paris, Hiroshima Museum of Contemporary Art, Lianzhou Foto Festival, Metropolis Art Center, Beijing, Fotomuseum Winterthur. They were recently awarded Landis & Gyr Residency in London, the New Point of View Award at This is Short Festival, The European Short Film Network (ESFN) and Best Short Film at the International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA). They are represented by Wilde Gallery in Switzerland.
