Lucie and Simon recently unveiled their impressive new series, Silent world, which they have been working on, with patience and discretion, for the last three years. We already presented the series last April, here is the video.

“With Silent World, we wanted to transform major cities into unknown imaginary landscapes. We placed one or more symbolic characters into these ghostly abandoned cities to stand as the last witnesses of a vanished world. The characters, often children, have come to this place to confront a new world where time is suspended, representing a sign of hope or life. We wanted to invite the viewer to readjust to the world around him, to push him to question our place and role in our relationship to the world and its future.”
