[ ... ]:

The materials mentioned in brackets are impermanent, fit a specific situation and are renewed when the work comes out again.

 

Atomization:

Transformation of water into ultra fine droplets (1 to 5 microns) for absorption by air (dense fog). The flow can vary from 1 to 200 kg per hour depending on the foggers (ultrasonic).

 

 

Climatic:

Nature and character of the work.

 

 

Dew point:

Limit temperature at which water vapour condenses into water (cloud, fog, dew), depending on humidity and air temperature. Likewise: dew point of a text, a reading, an exhibition, an experience, an exploration.

From the icing point (under the freezing point), water vapour can condense directly into ice crystals.

 

 

Experience:

At the heart of the work.

 

 

Exploration:

In a starry movement and continuous.

 

 

Explorer:

Voyant, viewer. Formerly "spectator", "visitor". An explorer is free in its approach.

 

 

Exposition:

Under the sun (French word for both "exhibition" and "exposure").

 

 

Flight:

Body entering into resonance with space activity.

 

 

Glasshouse, greenhouse:

Transparent place. Concentration, breathing and exposition space, a go-between outdoors. A piece of glacier - "weatherhouse".

 

 

Immersion:

Infusion.

 

 

Installation:

Climatic device.

 

 

Magnetic:

Characteristic of a current that affects orientation, emitting light when subjected to pressures or shocks.

 

 

Materials:

All that is involved in the work, which circulates in the air.

 

 

Meditation:

Bitter springing up - exhilarating and extended.

 

 

Navigation:

Physical, mental and fluid, subject to atmospherical variations.

 

 

Night:

In contrast to the white cube: the dark expanse.

 

 

Photography:

Light travel and writing in space.

 

 

Precipitation:

Hydrometeor.

 

 

Projection:

Light condensation.

 

 

Scale:

Spatio-temporal relationships between the various occurrences of the work. The ellipsis "..." indicates extensions.

 

 

Spatialization:

Emergence, spatial appearance mode of a work. Valid in each case, here mentioned as material for works using photography which have to be developped in space and opened to new interractions: transparent, translucent, luminous, reflective, thermal, climatic, vaporized.

Each spatialization (condition of appearance of the work, whatever it is), beyond its relationship to place or site, is seen as "climate-specific", "in nebulae" / in nebulas or in clima.

 

 

Vaporization:

Produces fine droplets, larger than the atomized ones, for an evanescent suspension in space - a materialization of fast flows. Variable speed and violence, depending on device.

 

 

Walk:

Space entering into resonance with body activity.
