Using soap film:
To explore this dreamlike world and to project shadows and images manipulated at sight, we have chosen to use soap film due to its plastic and reflective qualities...
|
Through soap film, we present the object created by a liquid (water and surfactant) that flows between several wires (not a bubble). These wires can be manipulated, therefore changing the screen's location and shape, the film itself being able to be deformed by a simple breath. Moreover, the liquid can be made opaque by the addition of dyes in aqueous phase, if one wishes to stop using the film as a flexible and moving mirror in order to transform it into a malleable screen.
Based on the results described in the Annex of the article "Giant soap curtains for public presentations" by François Graner and Patrice Ballet (European Journal of Physics, 2006), and with their help, our goal is to create an original stage element ready for touring. To do this, we intend to work jointly, not with an artist who prescribes and a scientist / technician who perform in the best way, but in collaboration, where everyone could be a source of innovative ideas. After all, our job is a puppeteer basically manipulating material to instigate emotion. It can be regarded as a form of naive, primitive and empirical way of practicing physics…
