Débuté le 12 avril 2020, alors que plus
de 3 milliards de citoyens de la Terre
se trouvaient confinés par leurs
gouvernements mutuels, ce carnet de bord
retrace sous la forme d’illustrations
quotidiennes, ce moment historique tout
en l’interrogeant. Chaque nuit Ruedi Baur
conçoit une ou plusieurs illustrations en
fonction de l’actualité. Elles sont,
en un second temps finalisées par Odyssée
Khorsandian.
Les illustrations reposent sur un système
iso développé par Integral Ruedi Baur, en
2015 en hommage à Otto Neurath, pour
Manifesta 11 Zurich, puis pour le livre “Un
monde à changer” paru aux éditions Lars
Müller publischers en 2019.

It’s about what’s happening now in Xinjiang a slow and silent “cultural genocide”.

Submission1- Handle Me With Care
More so than ever we must be mindful of others.

Submission2- Working Together in Harmony
For us to move forward we must put our differences aside, work together and find common ground.

Submission3 – Links in one Chain
Our decisions affect those around us. When we come together we can exist in harmony.

The answers to all these questions are self-evident. After every crisis, whether economic or social, conservative political applications and ideas find space and having a say in society. In any case, the biggest part of the society is largely responsible for such issues. If you want to change something, start with yourself. Don’t expect someone else to do it for you. Your voice, is your power.

A group of differing letters, shapes, and colours, make up a community in close proximity.

The collage photo album of our humanity in reconstruction

Recently Slavoj Zizek mentioned that ‘the impossible has happened, our world has stopped and now we have to do the impossible to avoid the worst.’ What is the impossible though? I invite people to take inspiration from an old Chinese saying – “The stone from other mountains can be used to polish our jade.” For me, it suggests the wisdom of collaborating with “others” and get a “1+1 >2” outcome. The vision of the new post-Covid19 world needs to be a result of seemingly “impossible” inter-country collaborations and trust in medical, economic, and other fields.

The photo of two feathers that interpenetrate in their natural coexistence and harmony of balance.

These are a series of different compositions all made using the same four distinct forms

Sometimes, different worlds collide in the corridor of an apartment building. While my 80 year old neighbor likes to get inspirations on how to be a modern housewife, I prefer to educate myself in the modern cultural field of Los Angeles. Both worlds are delivered by the same postman or postwoman. Sometimes, my 80 year old neighbor gets angry with me: when I am too loud, or accidentally wetting her plants. But sometimes she gives me chocolate.

The world is topsy-turvy. Rethink everything. How can our globalized industry and nature coexist? It’s time to turn the tide. We need realistic plans to reduce our carbon dioxide footprint.

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards
one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”
– Universal Declaration of Human Rights / Article 1.

A network of equal people. We need each other.

Free movement is one of the most important rights we can have. Attitudes in many countries have grown hostile towards the refugees
in recent years. But the problem is still solvable: coexistence. Welcome!

Coexistence is the foundation for consideration and equality. Quarantine reveals more obvious than ever what can get lost.

The spreading of the corona virus put our daily lives and habits to the test. As difficult as the times are, change often presents chances.

We are one creation (humanity). We must live with ourselves. We are very different but at the same time we create a whole. And we need to trust each other. Being in different groups but playing together.
