To mark its fiftieth anniversary, the Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) gave free rein to three photographers, who were asked to capture the essence of the school and its future direction. Catherine Leutenegger’s work delivered many detailed portraits of science, blurring the lines between the images she created and those that she discovered and made her own. Bogdan Konopka, meanwhile, stripped EPFL’s buildings down to their still-life form. And Olivier Christinat brought places to life by roaming the grounds and discreetly immersing himself in the society of campus. All three offer distinct perspectives on a unique institution, one that has seen its influence spread far and wide during its first half century of existence.
Catherine Leutenegger is a visual artist, photographer, and teacher and has received several awards for her work, including the Manor Award, the Prix Culturel de la Photographie (awarded by the Fondation Vaudoise pour la Culture), and two Swiss Design Awards. Thanks in part to these distinctions, she was given her own solo exhibition at the Musée de l’Elysée, published a monograph entitled Hors-champ, and joined an artist residency program in New York City. During her time in the United States, she immersed herself in the city of Rochester, which is where Kodak was founded in 1881, and produced a book entitled Kodak City. Bogdan Konopka (1953-2019) was a Polish photographer and art critic. Olivier Christinat is a French photographer.
