One night, in a forest. The usual activities of the beasts are disrupted: A group of humans sits in front of a big white surface that lightens in the dark.This project has been shown as an Art Statement project at Art Basel 38. A screening did indeed take place by night, in the woods. Foxes, hedgehogs, owls… The forest saw everything. The audience too, guided there by torchlight. Likewise, they saw each other: depicting the situation experienced from the viewpoint of the natural wild world, the film is an endless duplication, a mise en abyme.
