This 250-minute video slideshow extends the experience of Lascaux (15,000 Years Later) into time, presenting each of its 15,000 portraits in rapid succession—one per second. The result is a relentless visual rhythm that mirrors the act of creation itself, transforming static imagery into a living, evolving sequence.
While the original composition functioned as a digital cave wall, this video introduces the dimension of impermanence. Each face appears only briefly before vanishing, resisting fixation and reinforcing the ephemeral nature of both memory and artistic expression. As the sequence unfolds, subtle shifts in form and style emerge, documenting the organic evolution of the work across thousands of iterations.
In compressing this vast body of work into a single immersive experience, Lascaux invites the viewer to engage with art as a continuous process—an archaeology of fleeting impressions, layered gestures, and the persistent human impulse to mark, record, and remember.
