Les Micro Gibouléesis our highlight on the subject of transformation and animism. In Japan, it is said that abused objects gather in the attic at night to attack abusive humans. Giving importance and existence to the objects around us transforms our view of the world. Accepting others transforms us. Death and life are fully present when we speak of transformation. We die when we can no longer breathe. The oxygen that enters our bodies transforms us, and that's what makes us alive. Aware that there is an end, we accept to live by transforming ourselves and to believe that there is something beyond us. We can also live dead metaphorically.


In a theory called The Valley of the Weird, Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori says that we've reached the pinnacle of strangeness with androids, those human-like objects that give us the sensation of mortality. The relationship that develops between objects and individuals mirrors the issues of domination of the human species.
