Until 23rd July. Curated film and photography around the notion of 'Participant Observation'. The artists works trace the nexus between photographic aesthetics and ethnographic investigation.

PROTOCOL aims to explore some shifts of the visual regime through a series of exhibitions and talks dedicated to photography. Each event will show the work of emerging talents from the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

Following a recurrent procedure, the goal is to offer a laboratory that facilitates exchanges between different fields and audiences. For this PROTOCOL #1 session Helvetic Centre have chose to work around the notion of 'Participant Observation'.

Somewhere between fine art and documentary, Bronwen Parker-Rhodes [www.bronfilms.com] provides intriguing glimpses into the private worlds that people create for themselves. By intimately entering these personal spaces, she aims to reveal hidden identities and the elusive rituals and routines of the everyday.

After graduating from Slade School of Fine Art in 2006 with a BA (1st Class Hons), Bronwen has directed two series of 3 Minute Wonders for Channel 4, made films for Vivienne Westwood, Pop singer Rihanna, Current TV, Spine TV, and exhibited her films and photos worldwide. She is currently based in London.

From bikers of the Rhone Valley to Ugandan skaters, Yann Gross [www.yanngross.com] touches on the symbolic re-appropriation of geographical sites, the construction of imaginary communities, as much as the rereading of exoticism in cinema or in photojournalism.
