Projet Luciole

“Fireflies symbolize the joy and desire that illuminates friends and lovers in the heart of the night. But have they disappeared? For Pier Paolo Pasolini, their becoming extinct because of pollution is the metaphor of a humanity gnawed away at by the “merdonity” [shittiness] of modernity. Determined to save the fireflies and to testify to their survival, the Firefly Project gives body, substance and voice to all the possible histories of critical thinking. Because art, politics, love and friendship can, in their radicalness, still re-enchant our daily life. Because fireflies still glow in the heart of watched nights.”
