From
until
The Genevan collective HÉCATOMBE: three men and three women dedicated to drawing and its narrative possibilities. Since 2004, their shared and experimental mission has been to keep the book-design process in their own hands – from the beginning and the content, through to the end and the material. Having been given carte blanche, this collective from Romandy transforms the cartoon forum into a bubbling mixture of participatory laboratory, performance and exhibition.

Hécatombe comprises:
Aude Barrio
Néoine Pifer
Bastien Gachet
Yannis La Macchia
Barbara Meuli
Thomas Perrodin
