No to the destruction of the Bains des Pâquis, 1988
Geneva illustrator Exem depicts a giant octopus tearing off the diving board at the Bains des Pâquis on Lake Geneva.
In 1986, the City of Geneva decided to demolish these former art deco baths. This poster was created for the popular referendum held in 1988 against this decision, which saved the Bains des Pâquis!
