The bunker blues comes from nostalgia, from the feeling of loss and dispossession of an original innocence, of a healthy primitivity, of an Eden from which we have been driven.

"Sapiens"

"Robinson's Requiem"

Tribe. Primitiveness.

The bunker is like a cave. Place of life of the first men, but also tomb. Other types: a teenager's room. A womb.

The cave and the bunker represent verticality, interiority, darkness. The steppe represents horizontality, exteriority, light.

"Moya": American Indians and A-bomb.

The bad primitiveness of the modern man.

To leave the bunker, to find an empty steppe. The hostility of the world.

But also the possibility to build something (again?)

Earth beaten by the winds (of History, of the Spirit, etc)

"Les Passagers du Vent"

Bunkers of Hoste and Meuse.
