Tryptique is a set of three videos made by Arnaud Laffond. The title typeface is Jester Justice by Grifi. Captions are in Britanica by Santi Rey.
The voiceover and sound were produced by Guillaume Seyller. Floating spaces in the middle of infinite skies become the stage of an apparition: rock, water, a flow arise. The sun is turning, a lying body seems to be waiting for something. Above these contemplative images of a universe reduced to a few of its basic elements, a voice recounts what the earth has been like, or what it may become. Allowing the words and the pictures to blend in a poetic statement, those videos depict a world that keeps collapsing, waiting for its renewal. Poetic videos that deal with the subject of collapsology, our non-actions towards the protection of our planet. Our consumerist and capitalist view of human beings is increasingly selfish. Messages about the climate emergency make most people lazy, staring at the wall that stands in our way. For whistleblowers, they are almost seen as madmen or harbingers of misfortune who are just waiting for this inevitable moment.
You can watch all three videos – Momentum, Feux, Permafrost – on Vimeo.
