The artists nominated by

Marco Frauchiger and Sebastian Stadler have been selected by Centre de la photographie Genève (CPG) for their projects researching, and experimenting with, the significations and significance of photography, two nominations that resonate with the bicentennial of photography celebrated in 2026–2027. Through complex and layered processes, their respective work explores, questions, challenges and pushes to their limits, equally visually and conceptually, the ways in which we rely on photography to make sense of the world, of history, and of our place within the world. 

‍

While Marco Frauchiger and Sebastian Stadler have been exhibited internationally in recent years, CPG aims with their nomination to FUTURES to bring an increased visibility to their work at the international level, and hopes that new opportunities to develop and circulate their work will arise from their integration in the network.

Marco Frauchiger presents The War Movie, an imageless video listing all wars that happened since the industrialisation of warfare and up to October 2025, and Camera Obscura Type III, for which he built a large format camera from aircraft debris collected in Laos, which he then used to photograph crash sites in Laos from the Secret War (1964–1973) as well as the Swiss industrial sites where the aircraft had been produced.

Sebastian Stadler presents New Archeologies, a series exploring our desire for control and clarity and echoing how photography has been harnessed to observe and measure the world, through double exposure where AI-generated charts, scales and grids are superimposed on negative images of nature and human forms.
