Catherine LEUTENEGGER,\u00a0MOTEL<\/strong> The young photographer from Lausanne Catherine Leutenegger (*1983) opens the 2012 exhibition program of the gallery Kissthedesign with two series produced between 2003 and 2004 \u2013 still unpublished \u2013 exploring the topic of the motel in the swiss landscapes.<\/p>\n Her photographs let us feel the kind of uncanny, David Lynch produces in\u00a0Lost Highway<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Twin Peaks<\/em>. Though we are not in the United States, we are far away from the large areas of Los Angeles, Washington or Texas as depicted by Wim Wenders. Catherine Leutenegger conveys the american and strongly cinematic charged world of the motel in our quiet swiss reality. The photographer brings us to the periphery of citys, close to the cantonal roads of the french part of Switzerland, in search of these strange atmospheres of the films noirs that impressed her photographic language.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n BIOGRAPHY<\/strong><\/span> She is the recipient of numerous award like among others, the Manor Cultural Prize (2006), two Swiss Federal Design Grants (2006 and 2008), an artist residency in New York (2007) and in 2008 the Raymond Weil International Photography Prize. Her work has been exhibited in Switzerland and internationally in galleries and museum like a.o in Mus\u00e9e Cantonal des Beaux-Arts Lausanne, Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Elys\u00e9e Lausanne, Museum f\u00fcr Gestaltung und Museum Bellerive Z\u00fcrich, Bieler Fototage, Fotomuseum Winterthur, Aperture gallery New York, Carla Sozzani gallery Milan, etc[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”4935,4932,4938,4926,4929″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row bg_position=”tl” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” parallax_type=”tb” parallax_speed=”1″ bg_video_position=”top” bg_video_parallax=”none”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ icon_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1428482882433{padding-right: 40px !important;}”] Catherine LEUTENEGGER,\u00a0MOTEL Exhibition from january 27 to march<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":5510,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[170],"tags":[324],"yoast_head":"\n
