Abstract nominee

Beyond the undeniable fascination they exert on us, the Fractals have many repercussions on the analysis that we can have of the world around us. Mandelbrot discover Fractals in 1970. And this discovery will revolutionize the world of science, economics and philosophy.
Like geometry, the winemaking has evolved enormously during these millennia according to the know-how of the Wine growers.
By recreating in photographs some of the most famous fractals (Sierpinks, Apollonius, and Von Koch) with wine bottles, I wanted to show that these "invariant structures with a change of scale" are like human intelligence.
