World Trade Opera

Director

Alain pelletier

"8 minutes and 50 seconds. We have released 375,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Trees have produced 171,000 tons of oxygen." This travelling-film exposes the state of the world through a real-time chronology of planetary processes. World Trade Opera is a multilingual work in which the artist explores the expressive possibilities of digital tools in order to create a visual and sound incantation. It stretches from global perspectives to micro-perceptions, from the communication of meaning to impenetrable saturation.
