coralie durye + aude messager: weighing things

photographed from below, falling linens and papers appear solid-like as their forms distort under the effects of wind and gravity.

‘shaped with gravity and wind #1’

for ‘weighing things’, coralie durye and aude messager threw sheets, linens, and papers from a fourth floor window, and photographed them from below during the descent. the resulting series offers an interesting visual record of the ways that forces (here gravity and wind) create new physical and seemingly voluminous forms.
