Speedrunning a Unesco Site, 2022

4K to Full HD video, 16’30’’

Speedrunning a Unesco Site explores temporalities and scales that can only be encountered through images. In 2003, Mount San Giorgio, in Switzerland, was protected by Unesco because of its exceptional deposit of fossils dating from the Triassic period. This isolation allows the return of a "pre-human" nature to the site, which sees the arrival of many sportsmen eager for sensations. 

The deep time of a complex geology clashes here with the speed of mountain bikers and satellite tracking. The microscopic scale appears on the same level as astronomical events. The complex entanglement of humans in their environment unfolds in an expanded idea of nature. Personal and external points of view mingle in a profusion of times and scales in which landmarks gradually disappear.
