Synopsis

Les Dieux Changeants

The plot

Les Dieux Changeants is a CGI short film that depicts the virtual demolition of some of 

the great sculptures of Western art history.  

The film creates a visually intriguing legacy: the static millenary beauty of those marbles 

being suddenly put into motion by a physical event, the hit of a bullet. 

The act of destruction is represented allegorically, as an uncertain process oscillating 

between negative annihilation and positive creativity readable on many levels and left 

open   to   the   viewer   to   discern.   Its   philosophical   meaning   is   open   to   interpretation, 

accompaniend   by   the   emblematic   end   quote   from   Nietzsche’s                 “Thus   Spake 

Zarathustra”. It could be seen as the end of something, a transformation, a cycle, a re- 

evaluation   of   established   values,  the  beginning   of   something   new,   or   just   something 

mysterious or fascinating to look at. 

All the statues portrayed in the film are 3d scans from real life casts created by Denmark's 

Statens Museum for Kunst. This film is a contribution to Open,  the Museum initiative to 

digitize their entire collection in order to make it freely available for the public to use, 

remix and re-elaborate to create new art.
