As the founder of the \"graphic method,\" Marey was also the developer of an aerodynamic wind tunnel. His experiments' photographs of fluid motion introduced a whole world of movements and turbulences, and fluids, and influenced generations of scientists and artists alike. Didi-Huberman expands on the philosophical debates surrounding these aesthetically and technically instructive images. Even though Marey's main interest was graphic information, Didi-Huberman shows us how the flow of all things drew this ingenious experimenter to a photographic practice that creates drags, streaks, expansions, and visual dances. Marey's wind tunnel photographs were also themselves causes of turbulence in the history of images. The artists Dombois and Oeschger explore these \"graphical\" vortices of the last 120 years, providing at the end of the book a collage from historical and contemporary material interlaced with their own image-making in Dombois's wind tunnel at the Zurich University of the Arts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorges Didi-Huberman\u003c\/b\u003e is a leading French art historian and philosopher who teaches at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris. \u003cb\u003eLaurent Mannoni\u003c\/b\u003e is head of heritage at the Cinémathèque française and the Centre national de la cinématographie.
