Thomas Blanchard, Filmemacher mit offensichtlichem Hang zur Fleißarbeit, hat Kaliumphosphat in Schalen getan und jede Minute die Kristallisationen fotografiert, die stark an Fraktale erinnern. Insgesamt sind so fast 150.000 Fotos entstanden, die in der Summe schöner als eine Animation sind und das vollkommen natürlich.
This project is the culmination of seven months of careful and methodical exploration around the crystallization process of potassium phosphate. I captured nearly 150,000 photographs, taking one photo every minute, in a continuous time-lapse to document the slow transformation of matter.
The images were taken using a Canon 5DSR and a Canon R5, in macro photography, to reveal the intricate details invisible to the naked eye. I explored various forms of crystalline growth, in Petri dishes and on other paper materials, fusing scientific observation with visual aesthetics.
Sound design also played a key role in this project. Each sound was carefully crafted to accompany the growth of the crystals, enhancing their movement and amplifying the visual texture for a fully immersive sensory experience.
