The exhibition traces the history of blur in photography, from the invention of the process to the contemporary era. With comparisons to painting and cinema, it tells the story – through key works – of the evolution of this form, as well as the values associated with it according to the different periods and photographic practices.

From Alfred Stieglitz to Gerhart Richter, and including Auguste Rodin, Man Ray, William Klein, Jan Groover and Sarah Moon, one can perceive the richness of blur, which often evokes an element and its opposite, whether in its relationship to reality or to mimesis, in its bourgeois and revolutionary affinities, in its relationship to amateurism and expertise, or in the technical virtuosity that it evokes, or on the contrary the primary defect it indicates.

This spring, Photo Elysée presents the exhibition Under Your Smell, a truly immersive experience exploring notions of beauty, identity and gender. Under the direction of Florence Tétier (Jean Paul Gaultier's creative director) and Nicolas Coulomb (photographer and consultant for Novembre Magazine), ECAL students offer a visual interpretation of Jean Paul Gaultier's perfumes.

The brand's Scandal perfumes are at the heart of the installation. The young photographers have deployed this subject by creating still lifes with contrasting textures: liquid, dry, organic and inert, evoking the components of the essences and the design of the bottles. In a series of staged images, perfumes become the backdrop for stories of transgressions and fantastical projections.

Under Your Smell offers a hypnotic and immersive experience through monumental fabric prints, taking over the spaces of Photo Elysée. Giant image cushions invite the public to lie down to celebrate gender diversity and new definitions of beauty and body expression.

This exhibition is the culmination of several years of collaborative work by Photo Elysée. It highlights images from the Gabriel Lippmann collection held at the museum and produced using the interferential technique – the color process for which Gabriel Lippmann was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1908. The museum holds the largest collection of plates made by Lippmann himself.

To better understand the complexity of interference photography, Photo Elysée joined forces with the AudioVisual Communications Laboratory (LCAV) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). This partnership not only allowed us to study the process, but also to explain it and present it to the public in an innovative way. In this exhibition, the display cases in which the plates are presented required research at the EPFL to create a unique lighting system, adapted to the observation of each original image.
