Lick a wound (Nathan Ghali | France | 2024 | 25 min)
In geologic time, or even compared to some of our longer-lived neighbors like horseshoe crabs and coelacanths, humans have existed on Earth for but the blink of an eye. Our outsized effect notwithstanding. We'd like to imagine we will be here forever, but in our stories, we fantasize our own destruction. These are not disaster films, however, they merely envision the lives and landscapes that outlast us. Animals band together outside the human sphere, a de-extinct mammoth reflects on the extinction of homo sapiens, tectonic plates shift, and a trio of burros investigate a fully automated observatory, continuing to consult the cosmos long after we've gone.
