Aux Acacias - Entre Hier et Demain

« Entre Hier et Demain » is a photographic and text project developed in the Acacias district between Geneva and Carouge, in the context of the Praille Acacias Vernets (PAV) redevelopment—one of the largest urban renewal projects in Europe. The work was created during a two-week immersion in collaboration with the cultural mediation association Topos, which engages local residents through artistic projects.

The project reflects on a neighbourhood in rapid transformation, focusing on questions of belonging, identity, and community. Through encounters with over twenty inhabitants,  Acacias considers what it means to inhabit a place in transition and to negotiate change within everyday life. The work was presented in an outdoor exhibition with over 50 images in the streets the neighborhood in September 2026.
