Summary

In August 1946, Marcel Duchamp spent 5 weeks in Switzerland, including 5 days at the Hotel Bellevue near Chexbres, on Lake Geneva, discovering the Forestay waterfall. A multidisciplinary event took place in May 2010 to attempt to understand why the artist chose this waterfall for his final masterpiece 'Étant Donnés'.
