Emil Ferris: Between Selves
Emil Ferris's first solo show in Europe, with original pages from My Favorite Thing is Monsters, its second volume and unpublished drawings.
巴塞尔更多展览
Everything on these walls was drawn in ballpoint pen on lined paper. Ferris told SRF she started as a girl with a spiral pad and two pens, one black and one blue. As an adult, West Nile virus left her paralysed, and she taught her hand to move again so she could draw her first graphic novel.
This is her first major solo show in Europe: original pages from both volumes of My Favorite Thing is Monsters, plus unpublished drawings, sketches, objects and children's books. Karen Reyes, a girl in 1960s Chicago, believes she is a werewolf, and the second volume goes back to the 1930s and the Shoah. Up close you read it as Ferris meant it, she told SRF: like a stranger's diary you know you should hand back, and can't stop reading.
It closes on 15 November, and that Sunday has a curator-guided tour at 2pm. Tickets are CHF 14, or CHF 7 for students under 25.

看点
Karen's notebook pages
Original pages from the first volume, where Karen draws herself as a werewolf girl in what reads as her own lined notebook, all in ballpoint.
The full-page tableaux
Look for the full-page spreads where Ferris nods to Delacroix and Leonardo da Vinci as readily as to splatter horror.

You want light cartoons: the books deal with the Shoah, poverty, violence and racism.
