Where does an idea come from? First by chance, then one by one, by following a frog and a sperm whale, retracing the history of the earth and its 4 billion 600 million years in the footsteps of Raymond Queneau's poem - Petite cosmogonie portative.

"... my poem contains a summary of astronomical cosmogony,
a part that deals with the origin of life
of life and is divided into paleobiology, botany and
biology and evolutionism, and a concluding part dealing with mechanics and evolution,
part dealing with mechanics and the history of machines.
machines.

(This poem) I did not conceive at all, it conceived itself, well
conceived itself, well, it's a poem that's a little...
surrealistic, let's say. Well, surrealistic in the sense
sense that there is no intention, well ... actually
none at all."

Raymond Queneau
