► Nothing Was Still
Nothing Was Still is a poetic video mapping projected on the ISAI Faidherbe building in Amiens — a post-war structure born from fracture, designed in urgency, and preserved as memory.
Through 3 chapters — fracture, form, and memory — the piece turns architecture into emotion.
Using black, white, and red, it reveals the tension and rhythm of the facade.
Light and shadow translate the building’s geometry into a meditation on time and silence.
It explores the illusion of permanence and the quiet motion of history beneath the surface.
