AEQUO (2023)

20 min.

This work lies at the intersection of cinema, sculpture, and science, activating the imagination of geological narratives in a context of climate emergency. It brings together Alpine glaciers filmed on film and underwater landscapes reconstructed in 3D, exploring the complementarities between learned and sensory forms, between abstract concepts and perceptions of the world. The artists collaborated with scientific institutions. The film begins with the sound of an alphorn resonating in the mountains, while the glaciers melt. From a distance, on an oceanographic boat, geologists probe the invisible seabed.
