Artist statement
Emptiness does not rid things of their content, but constitutes their true nature.
Through the medium of the battle between two fluids, a liquid and a gas, the perpetual struggle of active forces (gravity and fluid dynamics) raises the issue of pure form. What we see only exists on account of its environment. Form itself does not exist per se without the surrounding environment and without the knowledge/information which gives it this form.
“Emptiness is form and form is emptiness. From an absolute perspective, the world has no genuine or physical existence. Therefore the relative aspect is the phenomenal world and the absolute aspect is emptiness [...]. Phenomena emerge via a process of interdependent causes and conditions - nothing exists in itself or by itself. Direct contemplation of the absolute truth transcends all intellectual notions and any duality existing between subject and object.”
Technical note : Live shot and photo-montage, no retouching.
