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.

Julia Borderie and Éloïse Le Gallo have formed an artistic duo since 2016. They explore the interactions between water, territories and bodies, through a poetic documentary approach. At the crossroads of sculpture and cinema, they are interested in the origin of materials in the landscape, integrating disciplines such as geology, chemistry and marine biology and highlighting the complementarities between learned and sensitive form. Collaborations with scientists enable them to generate forms using cutting-edge technological tools.
