Portals
In continuation of Thomas Vanz's exploration of science and abstraction, as well as the physics and chemistry of fluids, this exhibition invites viewers to dive into the atom and contemplate the incredible interactions occurring at the quantum scale, and their repercussions on the cosmos.
By using various materials such as solvents, glucose, and gold leaf, Vanz creates visual narratives that illustrate the profound beauty and complexity of quantum mechanics. The exhibition guides viewers from the concept of absolute zero, where atoms reach their purest form, to the dynamic interactions in the primordial soup, depicting the universe's fundamental processes. Vanz's goal is to blur the boundaries between art and science by artistically representing concepts such as the "event horizon" of a black hole or visually explaining the "quantum flux" that occurs at the smallest scale of the void.
All of the works, excluding Fusion, are crafted using macrophotography techniques. Everything in these pieces is real, created using liquids on a very small scale. Embracing the inherent unpredictability of these processes, the artist captures the unique and random aspects of each reaction and translates these into mesmerising visual experiences. Each piece begins with an explosion of colours and forms, gradually revealing the underlying quantum phenomena at work.
