WATER SYMPHONY – the photo show

We are prisoners of earthly space,
But we are capable of breaking free
Thanks to the images
We create to interpret them.

Claude Raffestin, 2007


This work was created by selecting photographic shots taken for this purpose in many natural hydro-environments across Europe, grouped by themes which correspond to hydro-phenomena, connected to specific literary and scientific interpretations, with the aim to create a descriptive synergy and a meeting point in forms of expression normally considered disconnected (literature and science).

The show is made up of 60 photographs, specifically associated to the same number of mathematical formulae and quotes from Reclus, printed on 30×40 cm kapaline board, along with two larger panels which present and describe the work.

To obtain an abstract interpretation of the dynamic physical phenomena, the images were collected during field research of the various natural hydro-processes, the use of specific photographic techniques, and the search for the angles of light reflection on the water so as to read the geometric tracings of the trajectories of the reflected fluid particles.
