Tyler Mitchell

28.03 – 17.08.2025

American photographer Tyler Mitchell is driven by dreams of paradise against the backdrop of history. Since his rise to prominence in the world of fashion, Mitchell has propelled a visual narrative of beauty, style, utopia, and the landscape that expands visions of Black life. Photo Elysée presents Mitchell’s first solo exhibition in Switzerland, offering new perspectives on his longstanding themes of self-determination and the extraordinary radiance of the everyday, and showing how photography can be rooted in the past while evoking imagined futures.

Sophie Thun. Wet Rooms

14.03 – 10.08.2025

Playing with the concepts of scale and trompe l’œil, the vast photo installations created by Sophie Thun take the exhibition space as their starting point. The artist renders modes of production visible through a complex process of layering that questions any fixed notion of time and space.

Alice Pauli and Prints

14.02 – 31.08.2025

This show brings to light a side of the gallerist’s activities in the art market that is less well known, the creation and selling of what is called multiples. Alice Pauli was always in search of new ways of working with both the artists who lived and worked in her region and the great names in international contemporary art. ln connection with the exhibition Alice Pauli. Gallerist, Collector, Art Patron.

Quartier des arts, Lausanne, Plateforme 10 et ses 3 musées

The new Arts District

PLATEFORME 10 is a one-of-a-kind site in Switzerland bringing together 3 canton-level museums and 2 foundations on a sprawling esplanade of nearly 25,000 square meters just a few steps from Lausanne’s main train station.

Inaugurated in 2019, the new building housing the Musée cantonal des beaux-arts (MCBA) led the way for the exciting adventure that is Plateforme 10. This was followed in 2022 by a new home for two other Lausanne institutions, Photo Elysée and mudac. As an arts district and lively public space right in the heart of Lausanne, Plateforme 10 offers everyone a unique opportunity to discover the diversity and interdisciplinarity of the arts and art making in the fine arts, photography and design.
