Passeur d'Histoires, a photo exhibition by Arielle de La Tour d'Auvergne

A photo exhibition by Arielle de La Tour d'Auvergne, a French photographer and adopted citizen of Geneva.

Her travels are a source of inspiration and reveal her passion for heritage. Through her favorite themes: art, architecture, nature and culture, heritage becomes the common thread running through her work.
The places and people she photographs bear witness to, pass on and tell a story. They're conduits.


In 2018, she took over the reins of a historic monument that has belonged to her family since 1467. A key moment in her life that she wanted to share through this exhibition.

A photographic exploration that allows her to show us this place, from the outside in, from the cellar to the attic, from closets to reductions...
As a "Passenger of Histories", Arielle de La Tour d'Auvergne tackles a variety of themes.
The architecture of this historic monument, in which she has been immersed since childhood.
Her family's five-century-long adventure, handed down from generation to generation.
The intimacy of the place, like a cabinet of curiosities.

Some thirty personal images, plus a tribute to her grandparents. Arielle de La Tour d'Auvergne presents for the first time two photos signed by her great-grandmother, herself a photographer in her own right, and her grandfather's collection of poems.
Arielle de La Tour d'Auvergne, a photographer who doesn't just tell stories, becomes in her turn an actor, a passer of history, a "Passeur d'histoires".
