This installation, fueled by a reading of Lucretius, is a reflection on the fragility of things and beings. In three parts, this installation offers an ironic journey through memories of torment and distress. Using 16mm projection, drop shadows and video images, it stages a device of images that is not without memory of our childhood fears, coming back to us like engrams, and reminds us that after the rain comes the good weather.

(...) and we dare not believe that the substance of this vast world is reserved for death and ruin, when we see such masses of land ready to collapse! that if the winds did not pick up, no force could stop the fall of things, nor bring them back in this race to death. But as they take it in turns to regain their breath and redouble their violence, as they form and come back to charge then push back and retreat in turn, the Earth, thanks to this game, more often threatens ruin than it actually falls; it bends down, then straightens back, and after almost falling it regains its balance and its ordinary place".

Lucrèce, De la nature
