Philippe Dupuy continues his exploration of art and creation, this time in light of today’s ecological and political upheavals.

A gigantic golden monolith glides across a motionless sea. On board are the survivors: Isis, a young girl; Julian, an elderly painter; Bernard, an art critic; and an old, dying woman. Just before the end of the world, she (Isis’s mother) built this ship to save her vast collection of art from the flood. The ark sails silently across the waves, far from the fires that still burn on the horizon. A powerful story celebrating knowledge and beauty, and a graceful and luminous take on science fiction.
