This project takes as its starting point the microscopic view of a lunar olivine, collected during the Apollo 17 mission. The traces found there reveal a mineral writing that the researchers are trying to decipher.
Through this audiovisual performance, an interpretation of the strange language of the stone is offered. The inscriptions found there contain the stories of the impacts and temperature changes it has experienced, on a scale of several tens of millions of years. However, these lines can sometimes alter before our eyes, to the point of disappearing - an erasure induced by the scientists' own manipulations. Indeed, when we zoom in on matter using a microscope, it can happen that it cannot withstand the intensity of the electron beam and that it reforms its structure irreversibly, erasing the precious astromineralogical memories. This audiovisual performance is a mysterious journey to a dissolved temporality, between scientific research and daydream.

The Harmony of Our Absence is an arts & sciences performance project imagining terrestrial landscapes after the end of human activity. Drawing on scientific, geological and climatological data, rotating dioramas represent these possible futures. The end of humanity is presented here from a positive and poetic point of view, through a video walk inside these moving dioramas. A hacked vinyl turntable can play these audiovisual 33 rpm records, decorated with models on their A side and music on their B side. A double reading is proposed between the artist mixing the vinyl models visible on stage and the image of the cameras projected live on a giant screen.
