La Grande Beuverie

2017

Brass, Brussels

​

Mural created for the exhibition "La Grande Beuverie" organised by the Belgian brewery Illegaal at Brass. Sculpture created by the duo M700K.

 

"La Grande Beuverie" is a scenographic and performative adaptation of René Daumal's work of the same name, published in 1939. A descent into the abyss of the materialistic world. A strange journey to a counter-celestial Jerusalem where escapees reside.

 

"While philosophy teaches how man claims to think, drinking shows how he thinks."
