le disque de poussière

le disque de poussière invites us to probe tiny meteorite particles, the terrain of an intriguing investigation into the origin of stars. Their irregular morphology reveals a mineral writing that researchers attempt to decipher, until it mysteriously seems to come to life.

The film proposes to reconsider the way we perceive minerals by observing, on a microscopic scale, dust that pre-existed the formation of the solar system. The project questions the limits of our technological tools, revealing the narrative potential of their flaws. Although it is possible to partially decrypt the complex history of meteorites from their microstructures, the occasional malfunctioning  of the microscope erases engraved messages. This reminds us of the impossibility of completely controlling things, of grasping them as a whole.
