The Kunstmuseum Bern is dedicating the first extensive posthumous retro to the Swiss artist Markus Raetz, who died in 2020, with a focus on his three-dimensional works. Emphasis on focus, because Markus Raetz has shown us how much our perception can change depending on our point of view. With playful joy, quiet mischievousness and apparent lightness. Iwan Schumacher accompanied the artist and lets us marvel.
