- Summary:
- Part 6 of Chris Marker's contemplative essay about the influence of Greek culture in our society. In each of the thirteen episodes, a Greek word is deciphered by artists and intellectuals from various countries. This segment explores how geometrical space and mathematical language constitute a universal legacy the Greeks have bequeathed us with. How do we articulate its perfect logic to the complexity of contemporary sciences?
