TITLE: The Punishment
For thousands of years, man reigned on Earth.
Proud of his conscience, armed with intelligence and drunk with power, man invented tools, weapons, and everything that could nourish his conscience, so that his life resembled that of a god.
He built tickle-skies to better contemplate the extent of his greatness, he disdained distances by hyper-sonic racing cars, he transformed the forests into cardboard boxes, the soils into cans, put the rivers into bottles, and the animals on his plate.
Smoke was coming from everywhere: from cars, chimneys, pipes, factories, radiators and coolers; it reached the clouds, tinged them black, and then everything fell back on the cities.
The oceans began to cough, to spit the poison that invaded them. The lands were asphyxiated, the rivers turned into a muddy paste; as for the forests, they had long since disappeared.
Man shrunk, curled up. Overcome by his own punishment, man became a fossil among fossils.
This is how consciousness was banished from the animal kingdom.
All pictures have been taken on lava fields, Hawaii.
