This Too Shall Pass, Morvarid K

To see the static, silent, empty, overwhelmingly lifeless landscape and to confront what remains after the wild bushfires. This Too Shall Pass begins in Australia in 2020 and continues in France in 2021 and 2022, with the fires affecting both countries.
This project questions the complexity of human perception, the adjustment mechanism that allows us to tame the brutal, the destructive. How we set up a process to make the Thanatos bearable. Not forgetting our strength to seek beauty in the absolute darkness.

This Too Shall Pass is divided into three parts.

After the denial of the first encounter with the burnt landscape and the stupefaction it provokes; comes the realisation - collecting the material, the charred trace of the trees on the photographic prints; and finally, trivialisation and oblivion, a fragmentation and abstraction of the matter in the minds without having solved the problem of wildfires.
