Triin Kerge is an artist based in Estonia and Italy. She works primarily with photography, embroidery, and archival materials. Her practice explores memory, home, and identity through her own photography, found photographs, and family archives, focusing on how images shift over time through material-based processes. By combining photographic processes with slow, material-based techniques, she examines how images change over time and how meaning shifts through repetition, material transformation, and physical engagement with images. Kerge is interested in the material instability of photographs and in how images function as carriers of personal and cultural memory. Her work is research-driven and often developed as long-term projects that bring together archival research, material experimentation, and image-making across different contexts and locations.

Anna Kieblesz is an artist based in Amsterdam. Working across photography, performance, light, installation, and textile, her practice moves between image-based thinking and tactile, material processes. She explores bodily experience, vulnerability, and the role of photography in both artistic and personal contexts. Her work investigates how identity, memory, and subjectivity are shaped through embodied experience. The relationship between inside and outside is in constant flux: as the body mediates experience, it becomes both the center and the creator of action. Approaching her practice from an existential perspective, Kieblesz translates research into material form and brings questions back to the body. Moving between slow and immediate gestures, she combines material experimentation with the reworking of photographic images, often using materials that change over time. Through these methods, she examines discomfort, shame, trauma, and transformation. Anna Kieblesz holds a Bachelor’s degree in Photography from the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), The Hague (2018), and graduated from the Master Fine Art programme at the Piet Zwart Instituut, Rotterdam (2024).

Henri Kisielewski is a self-taught French-British photographer based in London. His work addresses the relationship between images to the real world – broadly speaking he makes photographs about photography. Research-led and informed by his studies in human geography, Henri’s work explores themes of memory, photographic representation and the porous boundary between fact and fiction in documentary media. Working primarily with medium format film and allowing room for chance, Henri’s practice is characterised by a documentary approach based on a conceptual framework. Henri is currently working on a new ambitious and multi-faceted project in New York State: a collective portrait of Agloe, a fictional town that came to exist in the real world. Through a variety of visual strategies – photographs, archive images, video interviews – the work probes the ‘documentary’ image in a post-truth era.

My name is Claude. As an interdisciplinary artist, I mainly use the media of photography and sound. I am based in Lichtensteig in Toggenburg, Switzerland. I grew up in the 90‘s in a small village on the Swiss side of Lake Constance and was socialised in the environment of the Catholic Church. Today, after studying analogue photography at Ostkreuzschule in Berlin and living in various house and farm projects, I no longer feel that I belong there.

However, the themes in my artistic practice today are still characterised by a tightly structured childhood, youth and apprenticeship: in my work, I have been exploring the concepts of collectivity and intimacy for several years. I am always looking for liberating and solidary acts in performative moments and arts production. My image- and sound-based practice reveals my great affinity for technology, the exploration of boundaries and needs in dialogue and the creation of trusting connections and learning spaces in my collaborations.

As a child of the working class, I am concerned with my own role as an artist in society and what (political) room for manoeuvre this opens up for me. The problem of self-exploitation, especially - but not only - with a body read as female, is a recurring theme in my artistic practice.

Since 2019, the Salon Vert has been a network of artists, a laboratory for sound research and a place for interdisciplinary dialogue. The Salon Vert has found a new home in my studio in Lichtensteig in 2023. I am also co-founder of the audiovisual Glitch Festival in St.Gallen and music editor at the community radio station Stadtfilter in Winterthur.

Sergio (b.2003) is an Afrodominican-Spanish artist, photographer and director who graduated on a Audiovisual Communication Photography degree in May 2025. He works on both personal and external creative comissions related to photography and moving image in the fashion and creative industry. His creative journey began at the age of 15 when he picked up one of his old film cameras from his mom. His work spans across fashion, racial narratives, documentary storytelling, and observations. Sergio places profound significance on colorimetry and the essence of the Black individual. His practice strives to redefine new perceptions on blackness and its beauty, particularly delving into the intricacies of Spanish-Black society and diaspora. In 2025, Sergio published Esto es España, a photographic book examining Black presence, identity, and lived experience within contemporary Spanish society. The publication was launched through two highly successful events in Madrid and London, and has received significant media attention, including interviews and international coverage by platforms such as PhotoVogue, EE72, and El País Semanal. The project extends his ongoing exploration of Spanish-Black narratives and the diaspora, positioning the book as both a personal and cultural document.

Jakub Tulinger (b. 1996) is a graduate of the Department of Photography at FAMU. He took part in the collective exhibitions "The Theory of Tourism" at Prague's Fotograf Gallery (2024), "Drunken Forest" and "Scream to Be Heard" at Prague's AMU Gallery (both 2023). His work was also presented in the Other Visions selection at the PAF festival in Olomouc (2021 and 2023). Currently he is part of a residential program - Transformative Territories: Inter-Species Refuge at ARTMILL – Center For Regenerative Arts, South Bohemia. In his work, he has long devoted himself to the concept of testimony with its overlaps in materiality. He is interested in the relationship of man and material, architecture and landscape, and how these silent witnesses can speak to us. Using the tools of computer 3D graphics and animation together with the creation of books, he lends a voice to the materials and through the stories attempts to look at the problems of today.

María Kristín Antonsdsdóttir is a visual artist from Iceland, living in Møn, Denmark (b.1990). She recently graduated with an MFA from Funen Art Academy and has her studio praxis located at Borre, Denmark. Antonsdóttir has recently received The Danish Arts Foundation's working grant for visual artists, alongside participating in various exhibitions, such as Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling at Den Frie Udstillingsbygning, with a solo exhibition at The Icelandic Embassy in Copenhagen and Ung Dansk Fotografi at Fotografisk Center. She recently participated at Residency Varmahlíð in Iceland, working and exhibiting at LÁ Art Museum (Listasafn Árnesinga). In her praxis, she works interdisciplinary, with a great interest in how images play a role in shaping identity. Manipulation is a vital part of the way she works - a method of altering the material, which becomes a central role in the reading of her works. For the last 8 years, she’s been working with old family photographs and videos from her own family, creating a body of works centering around the theme of family bonds, childhood, origins and identity, as well as the fundamental existential questions of what makes us who we are.

Eslam Abd El Salam is a visual artist based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. His work focuses on walking as a pedagogical practice and is centered around the body: the body in motion, in contact with nature, and in the presence of other bodies. Through the mediums of analogue photography, Polaroids, text, moving image, and mixed media, Eslam considers notions of synchronicity, specifically in relation to friendship and serendipitous encounters with others. Other recurring themes in his work include family archives, time, and displacement. He is keen to visually find the common thread between the personal and collective within his artistic practice. Originally from Cairo, Egypt, and based in Belfast since 2022, Eslam's journey to Ireland began in March 2019 as an artist-in-residence at The Curfew Tower in Cushendall. His work has been exhibited internationally in Finland, France, Latvia, Egypt, and the UK. Most recently, he has worked with Kunstverein Aughrim on developing a long-term photographic and installation project called Can You See with Your Heart? that was exhibited during Craic in the Granite Music & Arts Festival on the 27th of June 2025.
