From the series Phénomènes, pursued between 2014 and 2019, this stages and reconstructs those isolated whirls of wind that so often make the news.
Made in a scientific research centre given over to the analysis and reconstruction of natural phenomena, the pictures draw on both the scientific and the spectacular to extract a troubled, evanescent form, a kind of poetic and enveloping atmosphere. The voluptuousness of the milky wind against an austerely black background, the delicacy of the greys sketching the architectural models: everything is lit so as to let us be absorbed by the magic, the rhythm and the pull of these extraordinary events.
