The exhibition The World on Paper is subdivided into sections which take names from some artworks.
Among the work exhibited there is the Moondiver II (2018) by the Swiss artist Zilla Leutenegger. In the large drawing projected on the stairs at the entrance of the Palaispopulaire, a crane is lifting the Moon up like in an effective Trompe-l'oeil. In Higher beings Command a series of drawings by Sigmar Polke (1968), that is also giving a name to a section of the show, the simple blank paper is the place where different abstract shapes take form. Moreover, there are also Raquib Shaw animal cosmos, Joseph Beuys everyday life collages, Andy Warhol cowboys comics, even the first drawings by Maria Lassnig etc.
The World on Paper is not just a unique world but a constellation of to infinite universes coexisting at the same time.
The worlds of many artists are coexisting at the same time in what it seems like the philosophy of Giordano Bruno who in 500 century claimed the existence of more than one universe. For Bruno the infinite multitudes of worlds are connected together and artists as magicians could disclose to the others with a hermetic knowledge.
