DESCRIPTION:Virginie Otth\, artiste photographe\nBringing plants in the Ro
 lex Learning Center’s mineral structure. It is Virginie Otth’s photogr
 aphic project. The artist placed\, in front of two windows of a patio\, im
 ages of caves and water where humid and proliferating vegetation can be ob
 served. Like a screen\, these two photographs\, half opaque half transpare
 nt\, compose a green oasis that transforms our perception of space. A gard
 en lives on the premises.\nOn the same hill of the Rolex Learning Center\,
  an object set up on a tripod invites visitors to new perspectives of the 
 building. Virginie Otth has built a device inspired from the model invente
 d by the Renaissance architect Filippo Brunelleschi to represent a structu
 re in perspective. She suggests a double vision: on a view of part of the 
 Rolex Learning Center is interposed a photography of nature. Once again\, 
 the building’s perception is disrupted by this vegetal intrusion.The wor
 k of Virginie Otth explores multiple photographic dimensions: different te
 chniques\, prints\, optics\, and the history of photography. The artist al
 so questions the perception and particular relations between the eye and t
 he brain. Her intervention at the EPFL stages this questioning\, centering
  it on appearance and illusion (locate nature in architecture) and on the 
 representation of a space (how do we represent in two dimensions an archit
 ecture in three dimensions).Opening: Thursday\, September 24 at 5:30 p.m.
