Hyperaestheticized scenes of a world devoid of human life. Postapocalyptic or covid-related interpretations don’t really cut it, though: This “ode to the melancholy of machines” rather opens up humorous avenues. Without humans, they senselessly clean swimming pools or mindlessly thump tennis balls onto the court; they cut grass in isolation or aimlessly pile up items at the supermarket checkout line. Pitiful symbols of a consumer culture in which abundance reigns supreme.

Geoffroy de Crécy
Geoffroy de Crécy began his director's career in the late 2000s with a 3D animation clip for his musician brother Etienne de Crécy, who won a Victoire de la Musique. He then produced short films, TV series and music videos, thus exploring various animation techniques: stop motion, mix-media, 3D animation, live action. For the past ten years, Geoffroy has also been developing work on the border between illustration and animation, which has led him to create images, still or animated, for the press and advertising. This research about "animated illustration" led him to work on very simple series of loops that had a great success on the internet, especially on his Instagram account.
