All-knowing we seem; drifting through the universe, wondering. (#2) is the second work in an ongoing video series that examines the entanglements between humans and the more-than-human, where geology, water, human-made structures, and living beings continuously shape one another.

Filmed across four distinct water bodies in France—Mer de Glace in Chamonix–Mont Blanc, Europe’s largest estuary La Gironde, France’s longest river La Loire, and La Seine—the video brings together environments that are not part of the same hydrological system yet remain connected through broader human and more-than-human dynamics. From glacial ice to estuarine tides, from La Loire’s relatively untamed flow to the heavily engineered course of La Seine, each water body reveals a different relationship between geological forces and human intervention. Juxtaposed, these sites reveal the diverse ways water shapes territories, histories, and infrastructures while being redirected, contained, altered, and transformed by human activity.
