AB  - This paper looks back at the collaboration between an artist-researcher and a researcher-writer around the question of extractivism, approached here from a sensitive, organic perspective, via the association between video installation, photographic gesture and textual production. Enterrer l’infini (Burying the Infinite) forms the third and final gesture of a triptych whose creation spanned ten years, in a series of gestures of offering and mourning. The latter are part of the perspective of repairing our relationships with living environments, meeting voices inscribed in the entire thickness of the Earth’s crust, from polluted soils to accumulated sediments and even exhausted mining deposits. Here we return to our respective journeys, the conditions of emergence of the triptych Milk, Blood and Tears, to come to the description of the device Bury the infinite, and weave perspectives by asking ourselves the following thing: as the extractivist era comes to an end, what precisely should we be mourning about?
