Beach book – driving form

To experiment the positions around the axis.

To scratch traces on the sand and observe the moving earth vanishing with the waves. The centripetal and centrifugal movements retrace the surface of the sand and once again draw the same topography of the waters. Around a leaning axis, the planet draws entropic shapes, in a spinning of times and matters.

The shapes inscribed on the irregular ceramic pages are mathematic topographies derived from the toroidal model, the energy fluxes or even the reduction of the sphere, in images that combine the watery aspect of the blue and the hard line of the black drawing, intercalated by the overlapping pages.
