caroline bachmann and stefan banz have designed a photographically pictorial artist’s book which focuses on berlin cemeteries. in a combination of photography and painting they consider the uniqueness of the park-like cemeteries in berlin, which are used as leisure and recreational areas. bachmann and banz turn these places of melancholy and calm into an aesthetic experience by “making emotions visible”. marcel duchamp and the forestay waterfall

in the summer of 1946, marcel duchamp spent five weeks in switzerland, including five days at the hotel bellevue (today, le baron tavernier) near chexbres, on lake geneva. There he discovered the forestay waterfall. no research was ever done as to why the artist chose this waterfall and not another to become the starting point for and ultimately the landscape of his famous final masterpiece, étant donnés: 1° la chute d’eau, 2° le gaz d’éclairage (given: 1. the waterfall, 2. the illuminating gas). a multidisciplinary event in cully, on lake geneva near the forestay waterfall, attempted to provide answers to this and many other questions about duchamp’s work. caroline bachmann / stefan banz, what duchamp abandonned for the waterfall
