Le Mal des Ardents
Using footage from the 2019 Notre Dame fire, Brygo explores crowd behavior through photogrammetry and sound reconstruction. This immersive experience delves into the social tensions and apocalyptic atmosphere surrounding the event, raising questions about how we react to disasters in public spaces.
The film reconstructs emotions and collective behavior, reflecting a contemporary atmosphere of uncertainty—characterized by a globalized blur between fact and rumor, the rise of nationalism and identity-based radicalizations, and media that amplify conflicts for profit.
Le Mal des Ardents explores the climate of collective anxiety and group hysteria that has spread across social networks.
