This project, by linking the languages of animation and video compositing, creates a dynamic relationship between a series of old and more recent photographic images from various sources (Hungary, Germany, France, Russia, etc). The (virtual) camera plunges into the gaze of a luminous child and lets us cross over a sequence of morphing portraits which seem to give each other life, as if they were the same live flesh, until the rise and the obliteration of each character into nothingness. Still Alives suggests a broad conception of the transmission of life, memory and disappearance. By means of a poetic aesthetic, it thus tries to create an arborescent and universal vision of humankind.
