This work is inspired by the work of Bruno Latour, who asks the following question: how can the arts help us respond to the political and climate crisis?
This excerpt is worth thinking about: Where am I? - Lessons from confinement for terrestrials - The preventers of thinking in circles (Excerpt from chapter 13)
"By forcing us to move forward, by dreaming of becoming post-humans, by imagining that we are going to live "like gods", don't you see that you are depriving us of the only power of reorientation that exists: to grope, to try, to revisit our failures, to explore?

First, we become post-humans locked in a world of consumption: idealization, ideology, we want to live "like gods", to master our environment and control it. A new period is beginning, which must prevent us from going around in circles, by taking into account the complexity of our exchanges: these are the last images, of fluidity, of blur, of the encounter with natural and cosmic elements.
