FLUX I is the first chapter of Erwan Frotin's series: a travel diary
unique, a cabinet of curiosities of a new kind. Its archives of places,
phenomena and organisms, collected during ten years of travel, constitute
a true biological encyclopedia. These fragments of nature give us a view
the forms of life, as many signs, wonders and questions.

Antarctica, Erwan's photographs are part of an almost anonymous imagination.
