Riviera Paradise

Elsa Guillet – Riviera Paradise

An economic and touristic hub in Switzerland, on the  shores of Lake Geneva between Vevey and Villeneuve, the  Vaud Riviera has lived on its image of paradise since the  late 19th century, inspired by the French Riviera, where life  seems as pleasant as the landscapes are exotic.  As I grew up in this area, I combined a documentary  approach with the mental images of my memories to  depict a lifestyle where symbols of happiness seem frozen  in time.
