Neither plant nor animal, the mushroom is unique and it was left out when humans, animals and plants entered a benefiting symbiosis in the year 3000. The film “Life Between Walls” portrays the conflicts between a parasitic fungus-intelligence and a population, which is a mere toy to evolving mycelia.

Invisible Cities is a tetralogy inspired by the utopian movement of the 1960s and 1970s : the Metabolism. This cycle of films questions the notion of landscape and brings together several portraits of Japanese towns (machinami): Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka and Kyoto.
