Einstein off the wall
“One day an artist friend, Bruno Persat, comes to my house with an Einsteinian quizz he found somewhere. While I was trying to solve it on a piece of paper in two dimensions, another friend was trying to solve it in 3D with cooking utensils. When Espace Kugler offered to make an exhibition, the idea of reproducing this universal logical quizz in the city of the United Nations seemed obvious. Einstein stated that only 2 % of the people can solve this problem. I was convinced that this percentage could be higher in our times…
For me this problem has three angles : Aesthetics as a game, interactivity with the spectator and displacement”.
