Mario Botta – The Shape Of A Story

One year after Friedrich D?rrenmatt’s death (14th December 1990), his wife Charlotte Kerr asks Mario Botta to create a museum for D?rrenmatt’s paintings. The Centre D”rrenmatt in Neuch”tel is opened to the public in September 2000. The small museum hosts the graphic and pictorial work of the famous writer, which has always been an integral part of of his life. The structure emanates the strong synergy present between Botta’s architecture and the writer’s philosophy. Certain areas – like the one dedicated to the Minotaur and the labyrinth – show a strong complicity and dialogue between the two artists. Italian language with English subtitles.
