Crossing the Orne river one day using the Orne-Boom Eltono realized that in font of each door, on the downstream side, the water was forming very powerful whirlpools. The next time he crossed the bridge he saw that the debris that had been floating the day before was still turning around in the same place. He understood that the whirlpools were so strong that any objects caught in them could barely escape. So, he decided to throw some art in one of the strongest whirlpools and see what would happen. After 5 days he decided to get them back and, after quite a lot of trouble, he managed to fish them all out of the water and bring them back to the exhibition space.
Created in Caen during the residency "Palma".
