Sara De Brito Faustino

A Home with No Roof

A Home with No Roof is a series of photographs in which Sara De Brito Faustino depicts the dysfunctional home of her childhood. Using models and self-portraits, she reconstructs the interior of her house, haunted by her own sometimes painful memories. Winner of the 2023 Images Vevey × ECAL Award, the project explores the tension between familiarity and the strangeness of the ordinary. Through an interplay of scales and textures, each room has been meticulously designed to reflect the principle of her images within the space and accentuates the confusion between reality and its reproduction. The project reveals both the artist’s vulnerability and her strength of emancipation thanks to the playful and expressive potential of photography.

Christian Patterson

Gong Co.

Gong Co. is a monumental memento mori about the disappearance of a family-run grocery store in the American South. In 2003, Christian Patterson discovered this Mississippi shop, appearing as a unwitting time capsule filled with expired products. The photographer spent twenty years documenting the slow deterioration of this shop, which was closed in 2013 and stripped in 2019. Alternating between on-the-spot and studio shots, trompe-l’oeil collages and handwritten notes, Patterson meticulously recreates every last detail of the shop. Awarded the Grand Prix Images Vevey 2015/2016, Gong Co. took shape as a book-object and becomes both a testament to a bygone era, an outdated representation of twentieth century America, and a personal testimony to impermanence.
