LES ONDES DE LOVE

Edith Dekyndt
A flag made of 20 meters of black cloth, standing on the desert plateau of an active volcano, waves generated as if the mast movement of the fabric, forming a wave. When conditions are most favorable, the movement becomes sinusoidal and visually approximates the seismic waves discovered by the British mathematician Augustus Edward Hough Love (1863-1940)....
