Anima Mundi is a group exhibition at L’Appartement celebrating the universal interconnectedness and the “soul of the world.” It brings together works by international artists such as Marc Chagall and Barbara Hepworth, exploring the fundamental connection shared by all living beings. Through paintings, sculptures, and videos, the exhibition showcases a powerful visual language rooted in universal symbols, urging a reconsideration of our place in the universe. Artists, likened to contemporary alchemists, transform their creations into symbolic acts of inner metamorphosis, evoking a re-enchantment of reality and making the invisible visible.
A group exhibition delves into the complex and paradoxical relationship between humans and plants. Acting as indicators of climate change, pharmaceutical resources, or fashion items, plants are laden with diverse cultural meanings. Through documentary, speculative, or experimental works, the artists investigate the status of plants—whether decorative, invasive, or medicinal. The exhibition unravels the myriad representations and values of plants in today’s society, featuring contributions from various artists and institutions like the Conservatory and Botanical Garden of Geneva.
The Martin Bodmer Foundation, in collaboration with the Conservatoire and Botanical Garden of Geneva and the Bains des Pâquis, presents “Verts d’eaux – Aquatic Plants from Near and Far.” This summer exhibition is dedicated to the diverse world of aquatic plants found in rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans. Combining botanical wonder, artistic interpretation, and scientific inquiry, the exhibition highlights the relationship between aquatic plants and Geneva’s landscape, as well as their portrayal in both literary and religious texts. Curated by Nicolas Ducimetière and Pierre Boillat, with artistic direction by Yoann Givry, visitors are invited to enjoy an enlightening stroll.
In “Forms of the Never Was,” Matthew Harris and Patrick Loughran combine their distinct practices of textiles and ceramics to create innovative forms.

To mark the 100th anniversary of Jean Tinguely’s birth, the MAH celebrates the artist’s deep ties to the museum with a vibrant tribute. A restored kinetic sculpture—Si c’est noir, je m’appelle Jean (1960)—takes center stage, joined by a major donation of graphic works from the Niki Charitable Art Foundation. Echoing the spirit of Tinguely’s last exhibition at the Musée Rath in 1983, the show features over thirty mechanical sculptures and rarely seen works on paper, many connected to Geneva’s cultural history.
