Filmed inside a series of empty museum galleries across Paris, the work articulates the tension between the lives of objects and the living world that surrounds them. Artefacts from museums of ethnography, archaeology and natural sciences are presented as the surviving objects of human interest.
Co-production: Jeu de Paume, Paris; Paris Fondation Nationale des Arts Graphiques et Plastiques; and CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux.
