Crossroads DEBSUDDHA
Crossroads is a beautiful, empathic portrait of the lives of the photographer’s two aunts, Gayatri and Swati, born as albinos in Kolkata, who have lived a life of social and psychological ostracism. Examining the space between societal exclusion and domestic familial intimacy, the work beautifully portrays the space they have carved out for joy and love within their lifelong companionship. Supporting each other as a necessary bond to give them the strength to flourish as human beings in the face of daily discrimination, they have met the struggle head on, creating a world based on their creativity, their dreams, and their love and understanding of each other.

Time on Quaaludes and Red Wine
In March 2017, Anna Galí discovered a hidden side of her 18-year-old son, Tomeu, after he tragically died from an overdose. Distraught, the Catalan photographer sought to reconstruct his life to cope with her loss. With the help of tech-savvy friends, she hacked his devices to uncover traces of his secret life. While studying biomedical engineering, Tomeu experimented with drugs and shared his experiences on Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter, ultimately leading to an organized suicide.
His dual existence lies at the heart of Time on Quaaludes and Red Wine, awarded the Images Vevey Book Award Special Jury Prize 2023/2024. Galí's intimate work highlights the fragility of youth in today's chaotic digital landscape.

Gong Co. CHRISTIAN PATTERSON
Winner of the Grand Prix Images Vevey 2015/2016, Christian Patterson presents Gong Co., a long-form, monumental memento mori to the decline, death, and decay of a small grocery store in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. In this work, made over 20 years, Patterson finds a reflection on 20th century America and perceives “going out of business” as something personal and profound – an existential allegory relating to one’s own life and time.

Prove your love JENNY ROVA
When Jenny Rova met Philippe in Zurich, he was living illegally in Switzerland after his asylum application was rejected. For fear of repercussions, he refused to be photographed. But Rova wanted to preserve her memories and took screenshots of their video calls without his knowledge. After a few months together, the couple decided to get married, but the procedure was complicated as the authorities suspected it was a marriage of convenience. Initially personal, these images become the key evidence of the reality of their relationship. Prove your love invites us to reflect on the role of images in our daily lives: the importance of memory in building a relationship, the use of photography as proof of love, and the delicate question of consent.

Beggar's Honey JACK LATHAM
Beggar’s Honey is an exploration of the underground world of click farms. Click farms are covert operations responsible for artificially inflating content engagement metrics on social media, manipulating algorithms with serious consequences, from influencing consumer behavior to compromising the integrity of democratic processes. Jack Latham‘s project aims to expose for the first time the inner workings of click farms.
By juxtaposing the captivating and the secretive –images gleaned from TikTok and photographs of click farms in Vietnam and Hong Kong – he challenges our perception of the digital landscape and prompts us to question the authenticity of the content we are confronted with on a daily basis.

Escapism ROGER EBERHARD
‘Escapism’ is defined as “an attitude that involves withdrawing from the world and civic life for distraction or relief.” This term lies at the core of Roger Eberhard’s Escapism project, where he focused on the distinctively Swiss tradition of collecting peel-off creamer lids. This pastime became a real obsession for some as, for decades, they swapped their lids to build a collection. These lids became so widely distributed that they permeated Swiss collective imagination. Surprisingly, the pictures on them span all genres of photography.
Roger Eberhard reappropriated exotic landscapes by photographing large high-resolution close-ups. He plunged into the heart of a very Swiss way of briefly escaping everyday life while pondering over such lids during coffee breaks. The fact that the images are grainy betrays their true nature and brings viewers back to reality.

KRISTINE POTTER
Dark Waters
Kristine Potter’s latest photobook, Dark Waters, focuses on the violence that permeates the territory and popular culture of the USA. She contrasts a series of portraits of women with scenery that appears serene but is in fact views of places with sordid names, such as Murder Creek, Bloody River, and Rape Pond, evoking the domestic violence that allegedly took place there in the past.
Drawing on the musical genre of murder ballads from the 19th and 20th centuries, Kristine Potter alludes to the flippant popular glorification of violence towards women that still pervades today’s cultural landscape.

CABLAT
Le Stade de la Loose
Olivier Cablat is an artist who loves football and was a former hopeful for a club in the Marseille area. For his project Le Stade de la Lose, between 2015 and 2017 he went online to buy a multitude of miscellaneous items such as Panini trading cards, mascots, key rings and T-shirts. Each item conceals its own unsettling anecdote related to the history of football. We learn that the airplane-shaped ashtray commemorates the death of almost the entire Torino F.C. team in a crash in 1949, that Bernard Tapie recorded the song “Réussir sa vie” (Succeed in life) on vinyl in 1986, and that a mug stirs up memories of when Eric Cantona shockingly kicked an English fan in 1995.

Lux in tenebris VINCENT JENDLY
At five years old, Vincent Jendly narrowly escapes drowning—an event that leaves an indelible mark on him. Years later, he still seeks to tame the water that nearly took him away. The series Lux in tenebris offers a deep and intimate immersion into the sea.
In 2015, chance leads him to his first cargo ship. A Greek shipowner grants him access to the strange and little-known world of these vast maritime transporters. At night, when the sky is overcast and everything is dark, the boat is indistinguishable from the dark water. When a beam of light pierces the darkness, Jendly feels his childhood eyes open again, dazzled by the brilliant glow that brings him back to the land of the living. Four more cargo journeys allow him to complete his project.

Rules for Fighting (Reglas para pelear) takes the shape of a notebook of intimate size in which the artist has collected images and notes related to the murder of her father in 1998, when she was still a child.
The archival images and her own photographic meditations intertwine with a delicate rhythm through the pages, while a special section printed black on black collects the court documents and evidence related to the murder.

Arrangements CARMEN WINANT
Arrangements draws on Winant’s collection of close to 2000 intact sheets of paper which the artist has ripped from books and stored in her studio over a period of several years. A journey into the archive, this book promises an exploration of formal structure, primarily using material drawn from commercially reproduced imagery.
One formal innovation that impressed jury embers was Winant’s enlargement of the scope of a collaging practice by using intact sheets or larger fragments that already embedded combinations of their own; she is exploring, in other words, the possibilities of juxtaposing found juxtapositions.

Gibellina Model Studies
ARTIST'S BOOK, SIGNED AND NUMERED
After a 1968 earthquake destroyed Gibellina, architects and postmodern artists rebuilt the city from scratch. Commissioned by Images Vevey and winner of the 2021/2022 Grand Prix Images Vevey Nestlé Grant, Alexander Rosenkranz explored this new city with an experimental approach to its urban planning. He photographed the site at different times of the day, experimenting with various methods. Back in his Berlin studio, he photocopied and rearranged the images using strict protocols. Gibellina Model Studies redefines architectural photography and questions the reconstruction of a city now seen as an artistic urban model.
