We Just Got Here (Pierre Zandrowicz)
Video, 2023
About the artwork
In mere moments, this short film captures the Earth's saga from its celestial infancy to the frenetic human epoch. Born from the fiery cauldron of stars, the Earth blossomed in silence, until humanity sprang forth—a spark in the timeless night. Yet that spark, in a burst of greed, nearly extinguished the miracle of aeons. This short film is an ode to that paradox, a poignant reminder of our fleeting yet formidable role on this blue and green spaceship we call home.
