"Éclipse de la surconsommation"
"Un monde où tout s’achète puis tout se jette aussi vite.
La Terre s’effrite à cause des actes des humains. Elle se rebelle mais elle a besoin d’aide.
Un être venu d’ailleurs vient éclipser ce monde.
Qui est-il ?
D’où vient-il ?
Des abysses ou des cieux ?
Est-il naturel ?
Contemplait-il déjà la destruction de notre monde ou veut—il faire évoluer le comportement des humains envers la Terre ?
Est-ce une créature destructrice ou au contraire salvatrice ? "
- Poème de Philippe Thuriet & Claire Lavictoire, sa compagne écrivaine -
"Eclipse of overconsumption"
"A world where everything is bought and then everything is thrown away as quickly.
The Earth is crumbling because of human actions. She rebels but she needs help.
A being from elsewhere comes to eclipse this world.
Who is it?
Where does it come from?
Abysses or heavens?
Is it natural?
Was it already contemplating the destruction of our world or does it want to change the behavior of humans towards the Earth.
Is it a destructive creature or instead a saving one?"
- Poem by Philippe Thuriet & Claire Lavictoire, his writer partner -
