Passing through the animal specimens in the museum. All of them looks surreal, you can feel their eyes looking into your soul; their skull, their teeth and the way it was presented were as if they are still breathing. Some are touchable, but heatless, having no sense of life. As real as they seemed, they are all dead.

Accept it - La Jetee
​
In Chris Marker's photo novel, La Jetee; The Ferry. The main character was marked by an image from his childhood - unbeknown to him that it's his own death. He is just an illusion of time and movement. From the time period of 18:56 - 22:18 (2 minutes 22 seconds) in the film, the couple was visiting the museum together. Looking at immobile, lifeless and dead stuffed animal. Both of the characters are moving in the story, but the fact that it's a photo novel can't really tell what's alive or what isn't, perhaps the lifeless animals are the one that's actually alive and the characters aren't, it's all up to the audience's judgement.

In one of the scene, the couples were leaning forward to have a look at the stuffed animals; as normal as it seems, the director is relating both the couples to the four legged animal, a metaphor of lifelessness. Death happens, but just a matter of time. "They are without memories, without plans. Time builds itself painfully around them. The only landmarks are the flavour of the moment they are living and markings on the walls," (Marker, C. 1962) This short film is remarkable as it inspired me to record and observe how impermanence happens around me by capturing photos of object that shows impermanence or recording the decaying process of a thing.
