Love of Matter is a magical realist film that re-enacts historical events and other occurrences. somewhere between science and fiction, it mixes theatrical, staged sequences, with recordings made in different science museums and a library of images collected during different voyages: a room in Brussels, an apartment in Istanbul and somewhere around Toulouse.

Ecology is relationships. It is the relationship between all forms of life, and also between life forms and non-life forms. There are marginal communities imagining solutions for sustainable living; scientists exploring the possibilities of life on mars and exoplanets; academics questioning whether a cyborg-person could live in a newly created environment (incapable of living in its own pollution); landscapes are independently mutating and imitating human technologies; contemporary fiction narrates the dystopian environmental apocalypse. This story continues.
