"The subject is of secondary importance to me; I want to represent what lives between the object and me". 

At Giverny, in the gardens of Claude Monet mentioned here, a short film is made using an astronomical lens. This equipment brings the focus infinitely far behind the objects, playing on the impressionist principle described by Monet. These new blurring effects question the reasons for our blurred vision of our environment today. Recorded by NASA in 2018, the sound produced by the Sun in space surrounds these images. Finally, its title refers to the eponymous object No. 1 in the astronomical catalogue, the most distant known object at the time of Claude Monet's death.
