Does our modern world reach its limits ?
What if NYC, world capital, stopped living and became a ghost city ?
What if our daily lives were reduced to memories printed on old pictures ?
A disturbing observation of our society’s downward spiral and its consequences on our world.

On lockdown, we took advantage of our free time to plunge into our old travel pictures. From them was born the idea to tell a story from visual universes.
Thus, we created a visual trip using photo retouching and animation to make these pictures alive.
The NYC as pictured is the symbol of a suffocating society which have reached its limits, paying the price of its desilusions of grandeur.
As a warning, the short film shows the consequences our acts can have on our environment.

Flashbacks illustrate the limits of our way of living.
They are composed of hundreds of pictures found on the internet.
Those pictures are reframed around specific spots to create the visual animation.
