Marina GadonneixTornades

Part of the “Phenomena” series that the artist pursued between 2014 and 2019, Tornadoes stages and reconstructs these isolated wind vortices that often make the news.
Produced in a scientific research facility dedicated to the analysis and reconstruction of natural phenomena, the photographs gathered in this book draw inspiration from the scientific and the spectacular to extract an evanescent cloudy form, a kind of poetic and enveloping atmosphere. The voluptuousness of the milky wind in contrast with the austerely black background, the delicacy of the grey levels sketching the architectural models, everything is highlighted by the artist in such a way as to let us be absorbed by the magic, the rhythm and the attraction of these extraordinary natural phenomena.
