Last Things, 2023, 50min
From before the beginning until after the end; evolution and extinction as told through the prism of minerals. The geo-biosphere is introduced as a place of evolutionary possibility, where humans disappear but life endures.
Inspired by J.-H. Rosny’s early sci-fi, the film blends prehistory with futuristic visions, drawing on Roger Caillois’ work on stones, Clarice Lispector’s *Hour of the Star*, Robert Hazen’s mineral evolution theory, Lynn Margulis’ symbiosis theory, Donna Haraway’s multi-species scenarios, Hazel Barton’s cave microbe research, and Marcia Bjørnerud’s time literacy ideas.
In one way or another, these thinkers have all sought to displace humankind and human reason from the center of evolutionary processes. In the end, it’s particles that remain.
