What if we were all monsters? The exhibition questions us on the borders of the monstrous and the natural by a journey between art and science. It explores how nature makes - and continues to make - the diversity of living forms that we know today. The chimerical creatures of the sculptor Jean Fontaine will dialogue with the work of researchers from the University of Geneva.
