These seven pieces pay homage to the museum. Mainly taken from the Geneva Mamco collections, they offer pairings of works likely to produce a tension or dialogue. Excellent pretext for measuring historical distance, the seven side rooms of the Abattoirs museum need to be visited in a way that defies normal protocol so that it is not always the same reason that creates encounters between almost the same things.
