IT’S BREATHING
Take part in the story of Jean and Gisèle where, in their reality, the Anthropocene is collapsing. Click on the icons to find clues and secrets of their lives.
It’s breathing is an interactive video series at the intersection of art, technology, and design. It forms a speculative narrative to examine humans and especially family as a sensitive organism at the core of 21st-century issues. It is an epistolary movie, filmed remotly, where the evolution of a breakable time is seen through the lens of two twins.After a global pandemic, the birth rate is declining in Europe. Siblings Jean and Gisèle are the witnesses of the Anthropocene’s decline. They live in an alternative reality where scientists and the government have joined their forces to build a better (and controlled) future. Together, they have created customizable embryos. After sending samples of their DNA, people can order a fetus on the internet and grow their child artificially by putting it in a microwave. Gisèle tries to fight against this future while Jean is more fatalistic.
I decided to develop human relationships at the paroxysm and provide an entire movie through the lens of a video conversation.
In this series, you could interact with the life of the characters by seeing and using their platforms, websites, online games, filters. You are at the core of the narration.
As filmmaking is about building and telling the story of our community, I wanted to propose an interactive series as a testimony of my generation's experience. I want to give people an answer to possibilities for the future.
