Switzerland isn’t the first place you think of when it comes to cutting loose with crazy artistic antics, but there’s a little corner of Lausanne where the rules and regulations the rest of the country is famous for go out of the window – École cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL).
The art and design college encourages its students to get going from the outset, and nowhere more so than the photography department, headed up by Milo Keller. He, along with ECAL director Alexis Georgacopoulos and art historian Nathalie Herschdorfer, have curated a selection of work from the college’s undergraduate classes for a catalogue and accompanying exhibition at Galleria Carla Sozzani, Milan. As you’d expect, the collection features all the exuberance of youth, including the most novel use for a set of golf clubs we’ve seen in a while, and the weirdest horse we hope we’ll ever see. Catch the future of photography until 9 February.
