INTO THE MAELSTROM
by Zoé T. Vizcaíno
A vortex creates a dynamic elliptical form in constant flow. Its spiral rotation produces a centrifugal force that drags and concentrates the matter into an invisible depth.
This project came out of the research around the vortex and it focus on the documentation and compilation of analogous forms to it. At its first stage, the work began with water vortexes: marine whirlpools.
Last July I traveled Northern Norway with the purpose of encounter, explore, experience and document the world's largest sea vortex: the Saltstraumen Maelstrom.
As a result of this experience the project includes 3 different rapprochements to the phenomenon through video, photography, documents and maps.
