    Navigation dans la reconstruction d’une ruelle de Kasbah. Au passage de la caméra, l’espace se déforme et révèle progressivement sa structure sous-jacente. Les splats se dispersent jusqu’à l’abstraction totale.

    Drifting through a reconstructed Kasbah alley. As the camera moves, the space deforms and begins to reveal its underlying structure. Splats scatter into full abstraction as the camera sinks into the ground.
