Untitled or ” Nature rolling down on cracked concrete”Luis Soldevilla. 2010. Single channel video. Stereo Sound

Walking along the Seine during the fall of 2009, I noticed that on the ground a kind of cotton - foam was rolling downhill. After observing I realized that this strange matter were the spores that trees give off during this time of year to continue their life cycle. This foam was so light that the weakest wind transform it into a soft and gentle avalanche. These spores - cotton, in contrast to the cracked pavement looked more alive than the life they actually carried, and the concrete become more inert and crude.
