Passionate about chess game, His novels use logic, But also at random. In his tests and parts, He uses the game as a metaphor of the world. Who dictates the rules of this great game of humanity? And what is our field of action as an individual? In his drawings and paintings, He plays with his identity or imagines the ends of parties. The game thus constitutes a distance to observe the world, to deconstruct it and to rebuild it.
The works of other artists are associated with this journey to offer crossed views on the theme. Valérie Favre's paintings and unprecedented installation, The drawings of the Minotaur of Jacques Chessex, The Guy Debord "war game" or the graphic adaptations of Hannes Binder and Benjamin Gottwald weave links with the Dürrenmatian universe.
Crossing the chessboard of the adventures, We will wonder if our future follows his destiny or if he depends on a simple dice launch.
The exhibition is accompanied by a publication of the series of "CDN notebooks".
