About the event

MODERN NATURE - An Homage to Derek Jarman, Part Five
[English below]

Initiée en 2019, Modern Nature est une série d’événements publics qui rend hommage à Derek Jarman, cinéaste, écrivain, activiste et jardinier anglais. Inspirée par son œuvre et son jardin mythique de Prospect Cottage à Dungeness, l’initiative explore les croisements entre écologie, transmission, pratiques artistiques expérimentales et pensées queer. Chaque année, artistes suisses et internationaux·ale·x·s sont invité·e·x··s à intervenir dans le jardin de La Becque au bord du Léman, à travers performances, installations, projections et créations sonores pensées pour le site.

L’édition 2025 s’inspire de Through the Billboard Promised Land Without Ever Stopping, unique nouvelle de Jarman : un récit de route poétique et halluciné, entre mémoire, prophétie et dérive. Curatée par Vanessa Cimorelli, cette édition réunit des œuvres qui résonnent comme des transmissions venues d’espaces liminaux — fréquences fantômes, mirages sonores, signaux déformés.

Avec des interventions de : Aho Ssan & ASIA, Damsel Elysium, Erell Le Pape & Loréleï Nelle, Nkisi & Tiran Willemse, Time is Away et Will Ballantyne-Reid.

Programme complet à venir prochainement.

Launched in 2019, Modern Nature is a public program paying tribute to English filmmaker, writer, activist, and gardener Derek Jarman. Inspired by his life and his iconic Prospect Cottage garden in Dungeness, the event explores intersections between ecology, transmission, experimental artistic practices, and queer thought. Each year, Swiss and international artists are invited to create performances, installations, screenings, and sound interventions designed for La Becque’s gardens on the shores of Lake Geneva.

The 2025 edition draws inspiration from Jarman’s only known work of short fiction, Through the Billboard Promised Land Without Ever Stopping—a poetic, surreal road story that blurs memory, prophecy, and drift. Curated by Vanessa Cimorelli, this year’s program features works that feel like transmissions from liminal zones: ghost frequencies, sonic mirages, flickering signals.

With performances by Aho Ssan & ASIA, Damsel Elysium, Erell Le Pape & Loréleï Nelle, Nkisi & Tiran Willemse, Time is Away, and Will Ballantyne-Reid.

Full program coming soon.
