Mathilde Lavenne's “TROPICS” was honoured with the Golden Nica at the Prix Ars Electronica 2018, category Computer Animation.
*TROPICS* draws an orbit around a Mexican farm. Scattered voices seem to revive and disturb the memory of the place. Crossing the matter, the film attempts to stop time and men, and reveals the ghost of a lost paradise.
