LET'S PLAY
LET'S PLAY portrays creative Switzerland by bringing together a hundred talents representing both the generational and regional diversity of the Swiss cultural landscape today.
Artists, architects and designers are invited to a portrait session that takes place in two stages. First there is the portrait in the studio. Then the guests become players! They have 30 minutes to create a construction that incorporates 3 wooden building blocks received from the previous player. The photo of the construction together with the portrait create a diptych.
The Prima Materia plays no small role. Wooden blocks are among the oldest known toys and can transport us back to our own childhood.
