HOOKED ATOMS
Series after the first atomic theory from Democritus and then Epicurus, who both explain the substance’s cohesion by imaging a hook (a link) in the atom's shape. The word «Atomes crochus» was created by Democritus meaning also (in French) «to have a lot in common».
In quantum physics, from 1935 hooked atoms were brought back by Einstein, Podolski and Rosen, and then with Schrödinger who invented the word "entanglement". Two intertwined particles are in a strange state. No matter what distance separates them, their behavior is similar. Their relationship forms a unique and inseparable system.
In our diptychs composed of two colors fading into white, we left out the drawing of hooked atoms: the figure is in the title.
