Un désert au coeur du monde

A Desert in the Heart of the World traces the mottled trail left behind over nearly a millennium by the Carthusian monks around the Grande Chartreuse monastery in the French Alps. The brief narrative on screen transports the viewer to the heart of a wild and austere natural world where remnants of a past time, still strangely present, are revealed in the turning of the seasons. 
Retaining these memories of a rich history, the land seems suspended like a dream space, a place in which the march of time dissolves, where the existence, the experience of man merges with the forces of nature in the eternal passage of time.


Available on DVD here (French/English version, 30 min).  

Commissioned by the Chartreuse Distillery for the Voiron museum space, this immersive four-minute film unfolds across nine giant screens, offering a poetic introduction to the monks, the monastery, and the new exhibition.

Breathe is the ebb and flow, the to and fro of the Pacific Ocean as it reveals and conceals, at its own pace, the oddly- shaped coral in New Caledonia.
