Description

"Jellyfish Specimen TAP 511" is part of my "Jellyfish" serie, started in 2015.
This serie has been realized in a french land forces basement, the 3rd RMAT detachment of Montauban.
Through this serie of photographies, I tried to work on the parachute itself, by erasing its first function to exploit his qualities as a plastic object.
I handled every model of parachute as if it was a part of a rare specie, a specimen which we observe under all its sewings and which we could find in a cabinet of curiosities. Disconnected from their environment, these sails seem to be jellyfish or other creatures of the sea.
This loss of marks wants to show the interest of the variability of the object in its shape, and by there even its suggestive power.
