blue sands, yellow sands
Sands that change their appearance with the dying waves, the rays of the setting sun and various geometric patterns of colour.
first movement: many blue patterns mingle above the sands,
second movement: some blue, then yellow patterns appear fleetingly,
third movement: only real shots of rather yellow sands remain.

blue sands, yellow sands
Three snapshots of the sequence:
first movement, the blue is predominant
second movement, the blue disappears progressively in favour of yellow (passing here by the green)
third movement, no blue and mainly golden yellow
three minus one
The first three minutes of the sequence involve some four hundred graphic elements extracted from twenty-three fixed digital compositions chosen from those published to date on the site. These elements, of different colours and with rather undefined contours, are placed in 3D space and grouped together independently of their original composition to form objects of various shapes, multicoloured or with a dominant grey, red, blue, yellow, green or violet colour. The different objects move in relation to each other in a kind of more or less organised chaos.
At the beginning of the fourth minute, the chaos evolves towards a certain order and the elements gradually reorganise themselves, passing from 3D objects to various 2D surfaces: first according to the six colours mentioned above; then by reconstituting the twenty-three compositions, thanks to the addition for each of them of the original background and the graphic elements not initially retained.
.
The tempo chosen for the sequence means that the transition from 'chaos' to the original compositions is rapid. The interested visitor will find below a slowed down version of the three stages composing the last minute.
Reorganisation of graphic elements according to different monochrome flat surfaces:
Redistribution of elements from monochrome surfaces to original partial compositions:
For the different compositions successively, add the missing elements and disappear from the composition:

And an example of the final reconstruction of the original compositions:
the clear and the imprecise
A contrast between precisely defined graphic figures and blurred, moving images of water or clouds.
