Started on April 12, 2020, when more than 3 billion citizens of the Earth were confined by their mutual governments, this exceptional logbook traces in the form of daily illustrations, this historic moment while questioning it. Each night Ruedi Baur designs one or more illustrations depending on the news. They are then finalized by Odyssée Khorsandian. The illustrations are based on an iso system developed by Integral Ruedi Baur, in 2015 in tribute to Otto Neurath, for Manifesta 11 Zurich, then for the book “A world to change” published by Lars Müller publischer in 2019.

A vast enterprise of occupation of territories, of control over bodies and the imaginary, of disassembly, of unbinding and of demolition is under way. It leads, almost everywhere, to “states of emergency” or “states of exception” which very quickly continue and become permanent. ” Achille Mbembe, Brutalisme, Éditions La Découverte, February 2020.

100% of the proceeds from the sale of this drawing will be donated to the Fondation de l’Assistance Publique-Hopitaux de Paris/GHU Sorbonne Université AP-HP
