The geological hypothesis, increasingly noisy in the art world, inscribes the consequences of human impacts on their environments into the depths of earth time.

Between the interstices of an increasingly disturbed performance appear the cracks of a dominant political discourse on the end of the world, powerless in the face of the representations of long and inhuman time that the geologists invite to imagine. Yet it is only the end of a world.
