Peter Mettler's retrospective  

Canadian French painter Madeleine goes on a trip to Italy after her lover is gone. The girl decides to commit suicide. Madeleine’s journey becomes a visual narrative in which the memories of Madeleine herself and the history of the whole world intertwine. The spectator travels from one epoch to another thus searching for answers about the relationship of consciousness with politics, culture and human sexuality.
