SPACE BISMUTH

Concept Design: Benoist Buttin
France // 2010
Space Bismuth is an animated short that envisions the way in which works of art created by man would return to earth in the future, several centuries after the disappearance of contemporary society. Inspiration for the concrete spacecraft, measuring 700 metres squared, came from the history of humanity itself, particularly, the Inca and Egyptian pyramids. This combined with the study of rocks such as Bismuth and microorganisms such as Foraminiphères lead to this dramatic, dark but beautiful visualisation.
