La nuit de l’homme
17 May - 2 July 2012

A woman survives clinical death only to realize that a ghost is using her as a medium. The Sumerian God – who claims to be the “father of all humanity” – sends her on a mission to save the world.

Alternatively: a man who wakes up after a shamanistic ceremony in Colombia relates his experience: a mission to save the world. Is there any truth in the story? François Bucher, who was born in Colombia and has been living in Berlin for the last seven years, creates a multifaceted work about the impossibility of separating reality from the supernatural.
