Water Lab-Oratory
by Frederic the Hydrophile & Ilzan Rimicet
For over a decade now I am both fascinated as well as in love, or in awe with this element. It has taken me on a journey through many waters and other elements.
Water
is the medium of communication, for life to exist and flourish. It
brings different life forms together, and when they do, they tell each
other stories.
Observing how water moves, how it flies and
specially just before it becomes rigid… inspires us to see a living and
creative language of geometries of remarkable beauty.We will see photos of water and how they reveal a strange, pleasantly confusing language.
I suggest to look at these images with playful astonishment, like when we look at clouds.
The images are real photographs of water on the macroscopic level, visible to the human eye and easily experimented with in any home with a freezer and a petri dish.
"We must look into unknown dimensions, into Nature, into that incalculable and imponderable life, whose carrier and mediator, the blood of the Earth that accompanies us steadfastly from the cradle to the grave, is water.”
Schauberger, V. (1932). Implosion Magazine, No. 103
The following images are for inspirational purposes and should not be seen as an attempt to prove anything else, besides the existence of a world more fun and mysterious than one would normally think to be true.

Subtle Influences I
Water sample of filtered water in Brussels, Belgium.
Same method. Sample on the left is filtered water before influence, brought by an Osteopath who wanted to know more about the quality of his water.
On the right sample, he held his hand above the petri dish for minute, like he does with his patients. Then it went to the freezer.

Subtle Influences II
Water sample of well water in the mountains of Iznik, Turkey. Method: 2mm inside a 7 cm petri-dish of glass, placed on a dry leaf for less than a minute, then put into the freezer. The water does not directly touch what is underneath. The pure water is then photographed while it is moving into the solid state, still viscous, without the background, staining or editing.

Subtle Influences III
Water sample of well water from the mountains in Iznik, Turkey.
First image on the left is the well water without further influence
Middle image is during a hectic office meeting moment of a group of people with devices.
Right image is towards the end of the meeting, in a calm and quiet moment of work.

First image on the left is somebody's industrial double chocolate brownie placed underneath the petri dish
The one on the right: she who brought the cookies, tells the water a secret and brings it back to the freezer.

Same Iznik (Turkey) well water, outside over night. Intermittently clouded and full moon.

Subtle Influences 9
Same Iznik (Turkey) well water.
Before freezing I visualise a whirl of different states of water and elements turning around a hexagonal center.
