    Submission: Maxime Guyon

    Maxime Guyon is a Swiss photography student at ECAL. Here’s a short introduction to one to Maxime’s new series called ‘Landscaping Studies’, which we really like.

    This is a personal study and interpretation of the landscaping in Swiss mountain environment. Maxime was visually inspired by Rhône Glacier in the Alps. In this series he references to Nicolas Faure, who forced Maxime to study every single aspect of the subject. Maxime brought his research and inspiration back to the studio and created a series of still photographs which we feature here!

  • Haleh Jamali: Artist / Curator

    Haleh Jamali is a multidisciplinary artist working with a wide range of media and techniques that have included painting, video, photography, installation and performance.

    Jamali was the curator of the Edinburgh Iranian Festival’s visual arts strand in 2013. The exhibition you can see in the film was created around the theme of ‘borders,’ and presented work from international artists alongside contemporary work from Iran, and Iranian expats.

    “We were interested to see how people across cultures and nations would respond to the theme. Some are about geographical borders, some are about more abstract things – the borders between the real and unreal”, Jamali said in a recent interview with the Skinny.
