From a literal point of view, it is true that one can be tempted, before hand, to assimilate these photographs to a long tradition of scientific observation – the images that one believes created by means of the microscope rub shoulders with those which could have been accomplished using a telescope. Some patterns are similar to saturated particles of life or energy; some have an organic consistency, while others are like effusions of matter, electric arcs or molten bodies springing from nothingness. Other circular figures could be associated with portholes belonging to any exploration machine.
However, what really polarizes Sandrine Elberg's work around scientific principles is based not so much on visual evocations, a global physiognomy, than on the way in which she considers the production of these photographs. Indeed, if the attraction for cosmic environments never fades, it is the whole operating mode that is apprehended in logic comparable to that of the experimental sciences, especially when it is a question of validating hypotheses oscillating between clairvoyance and surprise, or to hesitate between conscious invention and chance discovery. Julien Verhaeghe.

From a literal point of view, it is true that one might be tempted, at first, to assimilate these photographs to a long tradition of scientific observation – the images that one believes were created under a microscope rub shoulders with those that could have been accomplished with the help of a telescope. Some models are similar to particles saturated with life or energy; some have an organic consistency, while others are like effusions of matter, electric arcs or molten bodies coming from nothing. Other circular figures could be associated with portholes belonging to any exploration machine.
However, what really polarizes Sandrine Elberg's work around scientific principles is not so much based on visual evocations, an overall physiognomy, but on the way she considers the production of these photographs. Indeed, if the attraction to cosmic environments never fades, it is the entire mode of operation that is apprehended in a logic comparable to that of experimental sciences, especially when it comes to validating hypotheses oscillating between clairvoyance and surprise, or hesitating between conscious invention and fortuitous discovery.
