LA MATIERE (2015)
In current theories about the origin of the universe, scientists presume that it originated from a vacuum, thus from nothing. At the moment of the big bang, the universe was symmetric, homogenous and unbounded, but also seething with energy from the quantum vacuum. Supposedly, all matter and the natural forces came into existence due to the cooling down of the quantum vacuum.
La Matière is a visual experiment in which images of all elements from Mendeleev’s periodic system have been put together, to visually invert this process of matter emerging from the vacuum.
