蜉生一夢 / L'ÉPHÉMÈRE - Film - 18min - 2025

presented as part of the exhibition Panorama 27

Film


L'ÉPHÉMÈRE is a visual meditation on transience, memory and the passage of time. Composed exclusively of static shots, the film captures suspended moments where life seems to waver between appearance and disappearance. Each frame becomes a silent and poetic space for contemplation.
