The elephant is a strange and clever creature whose spirit of cohesion is very similar to ours.
That’s why this giant has always fascinated man, inspiring both liking and respect.
Today, elephants are under hard pressure on the territories they inhabit.
If the elephant, wrapped in legendary benevolence, owns cleverness and wisdom, man himself has got more and more conflicting attitudes toward space, the Earth, the very air he needs to survive.
Wasn’t the elephant in Asian and African cultures, the wise guard of Men’s memory?
The Western World, when it discovers the elephant, naturally adopts this vision of an animal which remembers everything, which remembers us.
Memory, whether absent or saturated by billions of news transmitted via the Internet, is one of the great challenges of this century.
Marguerite Yourcenar tells us through a metaphor what separates modern times from the dawn of humanity: ” A few dozen elderly men holding hands”.
Elephant’s Memory is an initiatory journey thanks to one thousand elephants that take part in this unforgettable human chain.
For centuries,our thinkers, scientists and artists have embellished our lives; the elephant will be the one who remembers it.
