La Merveille de la Vie marks Jos de Gruyter & Harald Thys’ second exhibition at KIN, following the gallery’s opening exhibition in 2023.
In the winter of 2009, the decision was made to create 500 pencil drawings, following the principle of “warsprong.” These drawings sketch a picture of life on Earth. In 2010, the drawings were exhibited in Basel and subsequently in Vienna in the year 2014. After this, the drawings were stored in cardboard boxes for preservation in a state archive. The collection was recently rediscovered during work in the archive. For the exhibition La Merveille de la Vie, a selection of some 140 drawings was made, offering a glimpse into the most striking features of life on Earth.
