With its incredible rock paintings, the cave of Chauvet-Pont d’Arc represents one of the most important sites in human history. Although the figures date back to 36,000 years ago, remaining hidden for thousands of years in the dark, they are still capable of cancelling the huge distance separating us from those who created them. Made starting from 3D models, this incredible sequence shot allows us to explore a place that would otherwise be inaccessible.
