I apprehend space and time in their symbolic and experimental dimensions. A presence / absence suggested through materials, black sand, foam, volcanic stones, sulfur, as well as suspension, blur, intangibility... In recontextualizing The Popular Astronomy illustrations in real, contemporary environments and time frames, I reveal a singular metamorphosis: that of landscape turning into sign. <img alt="Abjure_16x24_48p-15-1435435474" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/214035/Abjure_16x24_48p-15-1435435474.jpg"> <img alt="Abjure_16x24_48p-7-1435443407" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/214062/Abjure_16x24_48p-7-1435443407.jpg"> <img alt="Flying_ice_kkbb-1434806639" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/212006/Flying_Ice_KKBB-1434806639.jpg"> <img alt="Abjure_16x24_48p-21-1435443199" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/214061/Abjure_16x24_48p-21-1435443199.jpg"> <img alt="Crash_dc3_kkbb-1435443509" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/214063/CRASH_DC3_KKBB-1435443509.jpg"> 4/ Open Air film The film is an essay on the disappearance of the effect of gravity. The water sucked like flies through the sky. On Earth and in space, each element is organized around gravitation. It influences everything. The film is not intended to illustrate this phenomenon but to reveal how this physical property is deeply rooted in our perception of space and time, and we consider it obvious aquise. <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fplayer.vimeo.com%2Fvideo%2F131982172&wmode=opaque&url=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F131982172&image=http%3A%2F%2Fi.vimeocdn.com%2Fvideo%2F524451659_1280.jpg&key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=vimeo" width="540"></iframe> 5/ “Abjure” soundtrack A soundtrack was jointly created with the book, adding an audio dimension to the visuals.

Fixed to 1450 euros for KissKissBankBank. The selling price of this book, accompanied by the movie & soundtrack download (download individual code) was evaluated at the price of € 15. Your participation in the financing of Abjure gives you the advantage of receiving the signed, in addition to counterparties for those who wish.
