Organized on the initiative of Patrick Gyger, Curator of LA MAISON D'AILLEURS, Museum of Science Fiction in Yverdon Les Bains, Switzerland, this exhibition featured the latest Mdvanii artworks by BillyBoy* and Lala, as well as a selection of recent and past artworks by BillyBoy*, such as photography, paintings and drawings.
If science-fiction reveals the impossibility of predicting the future, it certainly expresses its imaginery and phantasmatic anticipation. The MAISON D'AILLEURS Museumto contemporay artists whose work explores a futuristist thematic. "Mdvanii, Memories From The Earth", featuring an inspired multiform and atypical artistic expression, is a perfect example of it.
