Description: A photograph by Bernese photographer Michael Von Graffenried is on display at the MUCEM in Marseille until December 9, along with other works, as part of the exhibition "Naturist Paradises," dedicated to the movement's centenary. The artist is also presenting his series "Nude in Paradise" at the Espace CRICO.

In the south of France, in Marseille, the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations (MUCEM) has been hosting an exhibition entitled "Naturist Paradises" since July, bringing together 600 photographs, films, magazines, everyday objects, paintings, drawings, books, prints, and sculptures.

France is the world's leading tourist destination for naturists: its temperate climate and the presence of three seas have facilitated the establishment of communities, which—except in Switzerland—have few real equivalents elsewhere in Europe, where naturism is practiced more freely, outside of formal communities.

Naturism is a movement born over a hundred years ago, with roots in Germany and Switzerland in particular. It's a practice that emerged from the rejection of urban life and industrialization in late 19th-century Europe. "When you're naked, everyone is on the same level. There are no rich or poor, because there are no Rolexes, no brands, no clothes. You're truly yourself," Swiss photographer Michael Von Graffenried told the 7:30 p.m. news on October 14.

Description: It's one of Switzerland's most significant "cold cases": on September 28, 1985, Sarah Oberson, a 5-year-old girl, disappeared while riding her bike in the schoolyard in Saxon, her village in Valais. Since then, there have been no clues or traces. Forty years later, Temps Présent revisits the gray areas that persist in this case.

Description: Because their parents were too poor or deemed lacking in virtue, thousands of children were placed in care. A veritable hell, the Marini Institute in the canton of Fribourg housed thousands of children. Many were beaten and raped there, and some may even have died as a result of abuse. Temps Présent investigated this often unbearable reality.

Description: The documentary film portrays the Swiss Daniel, who lives in Moldova and specialises in photographing girls aged between 9 and 14. He has caused much controversy with the photos of his models which he sells via the internet. The film raises questions of how images are used and their effects in a world increasingly dominated by the media. However, it also shows girls' lives in Moldova's neighbour Transnistria, which does not officially exist. Modelling is not just an important additional source of income for the girls, but more importantly provides a change from the dullness of everyday life.
