DESCRIPTION
It is the question of the "human being" that we are asking, of the human being in his transformation, in his inner evolution over the ages, through a "biography" of humanity, in a way, since that this has gone down in history. Is the soul of the human being, in the historical perspective, immutable, or on the contrary in perpetual transformation, in perpetual evolution? And if so, how and in what sense? We simply open a picture book. Symptomatic images that will help us better understand our time. Human society is like the tree which draws its ability to grow from the depth of its roots. Our past constitutes these roots. We will cast off, we will set off on a journey to revisit these roots. From Asia, we will travel through ancient Persia to Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Hebrew, Greek and Roman cultures. We will enter the Middle Ages and modern times. Then, together, we will seek to characterize the times in which we live. This human evolution will also be studied from the perspective of art history.
Artistic experimentation: singing (experience of intervals in their evolution in history) and painting (pictorial experience of the world through history)
