► Cristallogenesis
Senseless clouds, scattered models and data. Crystalline organisms emerge, suspended from the architecture. Everything flies, melts, stumbles, and there is nothing to hold on to. Here, everything is generated according to a word or a series of words, which remain hidden from us.
Direction and animation: Boris Labbé – www.borislabbe.com
Original music: Anna Anka Korbinska
► Case départ
From the blank page to failed attempts, from a sketch of the train station to the depths of splitting and the quest for self, let yourself be carried on an initiatory journey to the end of all things in François Boucq’s universe.
Direction and animation: François Boucq et Rémi Soyez
Original music: Aleksi Aubry-Carlson
► MYCELIUM
Mycelium is the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae. It is the underground network of threads that connects the different parts of a fungus, which is responsible for absorbing nutrients and water from the soil. Mycelium acts as a natural decomposer, breaking down dead plant material and returning it to the soil. This helps to recycle nutrients and maintain soil health, which is vital for the growth of plants and other organisms.
Mycelium also forms symbiotic relationships with many plants, known as mycorrhizae, which helps plants to absorb nutrients and water more efficiently. This relationship is essential for the survival of many plant species, particularly in harsh environments.
The Mycelium network is a hidden system, much like the intricate web of relationships that exist within an ecosystem. It is a reminder that even the smallest organisms play a critical role in maintaining balance and harmony in our world.
