A book : Physics Reimagined

“Physics Reimagined” of Julien Bobroff, at Flammarion Publishing, published 09/23/2020.

This image presents a series of abstract, particle-based visualizations. Each panel features a swirling, curved line composed of numerous small dots or particles, creating a sense of motion and fluidity. The monochromatic color scheme in the first two panels, with white particles against a black background, emphasizes contrast and simplicity. The third panel introduces a blue hue, adding depth and a dynamic feel to the composition. The overall style is minimalist and modern, with a focus on the interplay between light and dark, as well as the movement suggested by the particle trails. This type of visualization is often used in artistic or scientific contexts to represent complex patterns or phenomena in an engaging and visually striking manner.

A meeting point between scientific accuracy and visual poetry.

Published by Flammarion, Physics Reimagined, written by Julien Bobroff, explores quantum physics without equations, relying instead on analogies and original illustrations to make abstract concepts tangible. As one of six invited illustrators, we created the visuals for the chapters on quantum tunneling and superconductivity.

We worked within a double constraint: scientific accuracy on the one hand, and the duotone limitations of the printing process on the other. These illustrations are neither diagrams nor decorative images. They are visual metaphors designed to spark curiosity, give readers an intuitive mental picture of phenomena that cannot be seen directly, and leave lasting visual impressions that accompany the scientific ideas long after the book has been closed.
