Clervaux - Cité de l’Image and the Lycée Edward Steichen Clervaux (LESC) are expanding their collaboration with a new exhibition project in a public space. As part of this cooperation, the Lycée will receive its own garden in the Cité de l'Image, which will serve as a permanent exhibition space for the students' artwork. This creative space will enable young people to present their photographic and artistic projects to a wide audience and actively participate in the cultural development of the site.
1_Chapter
Between shelves full of files and notebooks, a hand searches for a specific story. Each file holds memories, thoughts and perhaps a forgotten chapter. The black and white emphasises the timelessness of the moment – as if leafing through the past. A quiet scene that tells of order, knowledge and hidden stories.
Student: Sira Sayuri Garcia Lopez
2_Childhood
A person hangs from a metal bar, suspended between the sky and the ground. The playground equipment becomes the stage for a little adventure, frozen in a moment of nostalgia. Childhood, courage or the desire not to let go of the moment.
Student: Minela Crnic
3_Bus stop
In the light of the street lamps, a figure waits at the crosswalk – alone, in the midst of the nightly silence. The street is empty, but the image tells of movement that may begin at any moment. A place, a destination or just a stopover?
Student: Eric Josy Breath
4_Tunnel
A person pushes their bicycle along a tree-lined path. The dense canopy of leaves forms a natural tunnel with light shining through at the end. The path seems quiet and secluded – as if it leads to a special place. A scene that tells of a new beginning, reflection or a simple moment of silence.
Student: Liam Marques
5_The room
Two people, separated by columns, connected by the same space. One is sitting, the other standing – both lost in thought. The concrete architecture seems cool and heavy, as if amplifying the silence. A scene that tells of distance, encounter or an unspoken moment.

6_Test
The silence of the room seems to organise thoughts while life goes on outside. A place of concentration emerges between the tree-like patterns on the walls. A scene that tells of inner peace, creativity or the beginning of an idea.
Student: Sira Sayuri Garcia Lopez
7_Borders
A person stands in front of a wall covered in symbols – silent, almost like part of the artwork. Barrier tape and traffic cones separate the scene from everyday life, as if it were frozen in a special moment. What has happened, what will happen next? The image tells of boundaries, expression and the question of where art begins.

8_X (Unnoticed)
A person walks alone along a path, accompanied by the shadow of a tree and the view of a wooded slope. Above them, two contrails cross in the sky to form an ‘X’ – like a sign pointing to something. The moment seems calm, almost casual, and yet full of meaning. Perhaps a story begins here – or perhaps it ends at this very point.
