Solar System 2004 - Is the Univers filled with void?

In accordance with the theme of the exhibition in Mellé in 2004 on the idea of Space, I conceived an installation entitled Solar System spreading over a pond 80m long, to give form to the Bubble Concept pertaining to the period prior to the Big-Bang. In the prehistory of the cosmos, everything begins with the emergence of bubbles. As soon as a bubble has formed, insulation from the outer world favors the emergence of other things.
