For Cemetery Day 2022, we invited people to reflect on life and death.
How do we say goodbye to life?
What emotions do we go through?
What feelings arise when we think about death?
Am I afraid of death itself? Why?

Through an exhibition, posters, a video installation, and guided tours, the public was invited to explore the idea of death within their own lives.

The greenhouse installation was created by Alain Jenzer and Renée Magaña.

Participants in the poster exhibition:
Dumenic Andry, Martin Bieri, Michael Fehr, Wolfram Malte Fues, Asiye Mujgan Güvenli, Jürg Halter, Martin Möll, Li Mollet, Heinz Mollet, Christian Pauli, Ariane von Graffenried, and Elisabeth Wandeler-Deck.
