Matthieu Gafsou
Ether (2014-2015)
In his series ETHER, Matthieu Gafsou shows the structures with which human civilisation has colonised the sky above. The fine lines and delicate forms appeal to a sense of unity. The images are reminiscent of a structure of a higher order and evoke associations with scientific classification systems and physical laws, with the poetic structure of nature itself. ETHER is the prologue to a running series in which Gafsou explores the limits of science in relation to the human body.
