Against the Drought of Signs (Single-Channel Version)

Étienne de France

Against the Drought of Signs is situated in the forests of the Araucanía region in Chile, a territory profoundly shaped by industrial forestry and ongoing struggles over Indigenous land. Rather than approaching the forest through an explanatory or extractive lens, de France constructs a space of attentive looking and listening, where the textures of woodland spaces unfold through light, movement and duration.

The film resists the reduction of landscape to resource, instead proposing it as a site of relation and presence. Through the notion of mimesis, gestures of light, signs and atmosphere suggest forms of expression that move alongside, and sometimes beyond language.
