The photo shows the flow researcher Olivier Chazot from the Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (Belgium). As "Scientist in Residence" he helps the research focus Transdisciplinarity (fsp-t) to prepare the wind tunnel for artistic experiments. The fsp-t team has been developing and building its own wind tunnel since 2012. It is a so-called closed circulation wind tunnel with an open test section. The wind tunnel serves as a place for artistic and historical production and reflection. In the photo, smoke filaments interact with a laser-produced light section to visualize the otherwise invisible wind. The simulated wind speed during the photograph was 0.8 m/s. The wind speed is the same as the wind speed in the photo. Olivier swirls the wind with his hands even before it hits his body. Florian Dombois took the photo with a Sony ILCE-7SM2 with Zeiss Loxia 2/50 mm lens installed on a tripod at a distance of 2m from the light section.
