DESCRIPTION:collectif_fact (Annelore Schneider et Claude Piguet)\nOpening
  Reception: Wednesday\, October 14 at 6:30 p.m.\nExhibition on view from O
 ctober 14\, 2026\, through February 9\, 2027\n\nWhat if\, one day\, all ou
 r photographs suddenly transformed and became the very objects they depict
 ? They would flood our living spaces with landscapes\, selfies\, cats\, ve
 hicles\, and meals scattered as far as the eye can see.\n\nEvery day\, we 
 produce images\, messages\, and data that we store on servers and in the c
 loud. But what becomes of this digital output?\nWhite Shadow is a series o
 f photographs created by collectif_fact (Annelore Schneider and Claude Pig
 uet). It was produced using photogrammetry\, a technology that transforms 
 photographs into 3D models. The images are generated from data sourced fro
 m online libraries. The result is a dizzying architecture so pervasive tha
 t it erects barriers and isolates individuals from one another. A society 
 is emerging\, grappling with media saturation\, sensory overload\, and a c
 rushing ecological impact. A world is emerging where images have taken ove
 r\, colonizing and transforming space until they become the only reality s
 till visible.\nThis narrative is a metaphor that prompts reflection on our
  responsibility regarding our daily digital output and its consequences fo
 r the environment.\n\ncollectif_fact\ncollectif_fact\, founded by Annelore
  Schneider (1979\, Neuchâtel) and Claude Piguet (1977\, Neuchâtel)\, exp
 lores the economics of the contemporary image through video and photograph
 y\, drawing on speculative narratives and fiction. Their works have been e
 xhibited at institutions such as the Maison européenne de la photographie
  (Paris)\, the Centre d’art contemporain (Geneva)\, the Swiss Cultural C
 enter (Paris)\, the Hiroshima Museum of Contemporary Art\, the Lianzhou Fo
 to Festival\, the Metropolis Art Center (Beijing)\, and the Fotomuseum Win
 terthur. They recently received the Landis & Gyr residency in London\, the
  New Point of View Award from This is Short (European Short Film Network)\
 , and the Best Short Film Award at the International Festival of Films on
