Instabilités version installation creates a poetic and sensitive translation of a scientific experiment, exploring the similarities between the movements of the infinitely small and the infinitely large and offering a contemplative and immersive experience.
The work explores Marangoni fragmentation, discovered in 1865 by the Italian physicist Carlo Marangoni. This physico-chemical phenomenon occurs when two different substances, which cannot mix, are brought into contact with each other. The forces and surface tensions of the two fluids then oppose each other, tending towards equilibrium. Instabilités version installation invites us to contemplate a kinetic and sonic tableau, to observe the movements and interactions of the fluids captured and processed by a programme that triggers sounds and music in real time.
This installation stems from the performance Instabilités presented at the Maintenant en 2021 festival.
