Histoires de voir was Expo.02's tribute and thanks to the city of Neuchâtel. In the form of a giant picture arch, Histoires de voir recalled key moments, central events and important stages of history in and around Neuchâtel that have shaped the identity and character of this region over the centuries. 159 pictures - one picture for each day of Expo.02 - were strung together on a long ribbon.

Short stories described the development of Neuchâtel and its surroundings. The 159 pictures illustrated the passage of time, merging with the city in the background and creating a dialogue between past and present, between outside and inside and between nature and artificiality.

A commemorative book on the project was published by Gilles Attinger / Neuchâtel in the summer of 2002.
