0:05:10 > 0:05:13- You Mujahideen!- Whatever!
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Nothing is innocent here.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21First man on this part of the world.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42As an artist, when you're with scientists, the first moment,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- you just feel like a clown. - Yeah, yeah.- Because you don't know...
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I mean, we're educated with the idea that you're supposed
0:08:50 > 0:08:54to know, you know, how things works.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58But as an artist, you actually deal with stuff you have no idea about. It's a lot of, uh...
0:08:58 > 0:09:02It seems like artists are the only persons...
0:09:02 > 0:09:04There's a lot of simulation going on.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Also there is, I think...
0:09:12 > 0:09:14No, actually, it's the only thing that the artist is good in,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16is not knowing something.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Everybody else gets paid or gratified for knowing something.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25The artist mainly works with the fact
0:09:25 > 0:09:27that he's not knowing something.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Yeah, and...- He's an idiot!
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Yeah, but it's a productive thing. - Yeah.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- I mean, are they curious?- Yeah.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- But not necessarily attacking six individuals their size.- No.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- That's bear.- That's bear? - That's bear.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52That's musk ox.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54And the musk ox were "whaang!" down here.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40If I was the one to take the decision, I'd order you to stay.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- Oh, yeah?- Yes, I would. But I'm not leading this expedition.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48And I'm not responsible for you.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50We take your advice.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54We are petit bourgeois anarchists. We don't follow orders. Give me the gun!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Don't you think it was this one?
0:17:18 > 0:17:19This was it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Yeah, it took me three years
0:17:35 > 0:17:39to finally find a 500-year-old musk ox.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I don't give a shit about natural protection.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47It's us against them.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59Isn't it beautiful that we will all end like this?
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Isn't it?
0:18:00 > 0:18:01It has always been like this.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22These flat stones could indicate platforms made by humans.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I would really love it to be of Stone Age origin,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37but I have to find a flake to support it.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Woo hoo!
0:22:33 > 0:22:35So this is the end of the world? More or less?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Kind of gives me the creeps.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54It just says, "Don't come here.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00"Don't harass, don't play with us. Don't fool me. Don't make noise."
0:23:19 > 0:23:21The end of the world.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06RUMBLING
0:30:40 > 0:30:44See the rainbow on the other side?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46There's a big rainbow on the other side.
0:30:57 > 0:31:04In the beginning, God put a rainbow up on the sky as a kind of proof
0:31:04 > 0:31:11for mankind that he would never let the water rise again.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Well, OK, it heats up. So what?
0:31:56 > 0:32:01Mankind has always been dragged through oceans and sand storms
0:32:01 > 0:32:04and mountains and has always proved that it can adapt.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10So, if they are just all melting, then we all move to the Alps.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11We invade Switzerland.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16You know? It's getting warm up there, the Alps will melt. All fine.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18All fine.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21It's just like we are clinging
0:32:21 > 0:32:24so nostalgically to our state of life now.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29"Oh, no. We need two cars."
0:32:29 > 0:32:30No, maybe we need a raft.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37HEAVY ROCK MUSIC
0:36:29 > 0:36:32There's a fight for resources everywhere in the eco system
0:36:32 > 0:36:35and every time there's a niche that somebody else is not using,
0:36:35 > 0:36:39somebody will move in and adapt to exploit that.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42What we see is true with all evolution is that life adapts
0:36:42 > 0:36:48to some environmental condition, it tries to be as fit as possible.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51And when they reach that point where they're really good at it,
0:36:51 > 0:36:54they proliferate and there is a lot of them, and through
0:36:54 > 0:36:57their metabolic activity and whatever they do, they are able
0:36:57 > 0:37:00to change that environment which they have adapted to.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02So then you're back to...
0:37:02 > 0:37:05back to... back to a problem again,
0:37:05 > 0:37:09so of course then they have to adapt to the environment that they caused,
0:37:09 > 0:37:12and by the time they're almost there,
0:37:12 > 0:37:18they influence, so it's a constant kind of rolling system where you...
0:37:20 > 0:37:22..where you never reach your goal
0:37:22 > 0:37:28and I think that you can see that humans are at that point
0:37:28 > 0:37:32in our development right now, where we are changing the environment
0:37:32 > 0:37:35faster than we can adapt to it, basically.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05The whole thing about having a civilisation, I guess,
0:38:05 > 0:38:08is going against nature.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13I mean, it's going the other way, away from nature.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14That's the human project.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18We put nature out of play and make our own rules.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21I guess that's what it's all about, isn't it?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27That's a very pessimistic way of putting it, I would say.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30You think that man is so strong?
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Maybe not, but only time will show.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Yeah.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45Nature is only great, I think, because man exists
0:39:45 > 0:39:48and only because we left it behind we can now come back and say,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50"Oh, look how beautiful it is."
0:39:50 > 0:39:54It's hard for me to imagine that the mountains look at each other
0:39:54 > 0:39:59on a snowy day and admire themselves, you know?
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Or that the musk ox walks through here and says,
0:40:03 > 0:40:05"Oh, today is a very beautiful day,
0:40:05 > 0:40:09"related to the day yesterday, where the light was not so balmy."
0:40:11 > 0:40:14If they do, they don't find a way to prove this to us.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16You know?
0:40:17 > 0:40:20We make them alive.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29We will only rule for a short time, and then it is back to...
0:40:30 > 0:40:32..to the spider, I don't know.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35But as far as we know, the spider don't write poems.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12But what is... What is he doing behind the house?
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Maybe he's trying to get in the house.
0:42:16 > 0:42:17Gosh...

0:47:04 > 0:47:06because it's not very deep.
0:47:06 > 0:47:11It shallows right up, up to the beach in the narrow bit.

0:48:54 > 0:48:57They want to drill into the ocean or the water to make more money.
0:48:57 > 0:49:01How can I like them? I'm too rigid for that.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05For sure they are nice people, like everybody, but I don't care.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07Like I said, they can kiss my shiny metal ass.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59- It's quite massive. - It's all coming down now.
