HORS-ZONE

In a valley in the high mountains, an isolated hotel is going to host a strange television debate… on the meaning of life.  Is there a sense to the universe?  This is the question that will oppose two candidates for several weeks.  The presenter will ensure that the arguments remain scientifically sound.
In order to get the largest public possible to ponder, in a rational way, the question of the universe's meaning, here is a new approach that combines storytelling, scientific information and illustrations.  
Dominique Vastemans was born in Brussels in 1959. He had a childhood particularly marked by religion.  The day he began to question the dogmas of his education, he suddenly found himself devoid of meaning.  He wondered if a completely rational approach to reality couldn't possibly fill this void.  He started getting interested in scientific explanations of the infinitely large and the infinitely small, in the essential principles of evolution, as well as the boundaries of knowledge.  What follows then is the contradictory reasoning that the characters in his work "Outer Limits" perfectly resume.   With his skills as an illustrator and communication designer, he aims to render a domain –often reserved for initiated readers– accessible to a wide public.
