Jean-Marc Chomaz is a physical artist at Ladhyx, CNRS-Ecole Polytechnique, University Paris Saclay, France, Jean-Marc’s work explores the invisible space of colors, the spectrum of electromagnetic waves that travel in Time-space and connect us to the past, to the cosmos but also to the living world, plants, animals, men, Aliens. Sepia of a photo too long exposed to the sun or faded green of the clover that the pages of an old book leafed through distractedly release from their oblivion
