The only photos presented so far in the "drawings" section were those used in the animated sequences.
But here, rather than choosing instant extracts from the video, which could have been very numerous, we prefer to show three photos taken on the Salar of Uyuni; having not been digitally processed a posteriori, these photos give an idea of the exceptional graphic character of the site.
A new series of compositions, all in black and white with sometimes a little red or blue:
A progression towards a horizon never reached, along sinuous lines and textured surfaces, with jerks, the fleeting passage of different patterns and detours along the side paths. You will notice that each movement ends roughly as it started.
first movement: rather sinuous lines ...
second movement: more textured surfaces ...
third movement: lines and surfaces deformed in 3D space ...
In the last movement, the symmetry between the beginning and the end is not obvious at first sight; however, after having more or less followed the course of a red line, the camera turns halfway so that - now along a blue line - we once again cross each of the objects encountered successively in the first half of the course, but seen from another angle and with some marginal changes in position or shape.
Winding lines,
textured surfaces,
and motifs passing fleetingly
which are superimposed in the progression towards the horizon, in the first movement for example:
or in the second movement, in particular with the twisting of one of the flat surfaces:
and finally in the third movement, with the same set of 3D objects seen from two different angles on the outward and return journeys:
Note that each composition includes some elements of the previous one.
The looped sequence of compositions could therefore have served as a basis for an animated sequence, such as this one:
A sequence based on only three graphic motifs, animated and transformed by different light effects.
first movement: shadows around the blue pattern,
second movement: gleams and mists around the yellow pattern,
third movement: itinerary along the curves of the red pattern,
fourth movement: variations around the three motifs combined.
The patterns used as a basis for the sequence of the same name, here superimposed:
then a first image extracted from the video, obtained by transforming the patterns that we barely recognize here:
another image where the original patterns are more identifiable:
a play of shadows around the blue pattern:
a glow around the yellow pattern:
a stage of the journey along the curves of the red pattern:
The six movements of the sequence are entirely constructed from elements of the compositions made..... in red and black.
The animated sequence "in red and black" is built by using elements from digital compositions made on iPad. Each composition appears in its entirety for at least 1/24th of a second during the sequence; but, most of the time, some of its constituent elements mix with those of other compositions to form new images that could also have been presented as autonomous compositions.
