Exposition Universelle

Histoires De Carres > Autumn-Winter 2020

Jon Bajtlik invites us to a universal exhibition full of surprises. Absurd humour and nods to history punctuate this multi-coloured map in which dinosaurs frolic under a cloche and penguins dance underwater. A Tower of Babel transformed into a helter-skelter stands near a Trojan horse housing a spa, while four drones hold the Great Pyramid upside down. The designer finds inspiration in the great world fairs of the 19th century to recreate a fantasy park in which innovation, combined with gigantism, is represented in all its forms: pragmatic, poetic and entirely far-fetched.
