In July 2025, Charlie Engman inaugurated the artist-in-residence programme at the Caux Palace above Montreux, through a collaboration between the Caux Foundation and Images Vevey. For three weeks, he stayed at the Caux Palace during the Caux Forum, when more than 250 people inhabit the site, as well as in the intervals between conferences, when the spaces empty and fall silent. His work takes the form of a reinvented annual report: beneath the codes of the institutional document, it reveals previously unseen facets of a palace inaugurated in 1902 and perched at an altitude of 1,000 metres, overlooking the lake. By combining archival images with contemporary photographs of the site, Engman brings forth the many layers of memory embedded in the place and its remarkable history, one shaped by communities from around the world who have gathered here to engage in dialogue and reflect on democracy and peace.
