[ ... ]: 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.
