Fluid Bodies: from the Celestial to the Subatomic The artworks of EvelinaDomnitch and Dmitry Gelfand explore exotic fluid phenomena, from sonoluminescence to Saturn’s hexagonal polar vortex. Pushing the very thresholds of observability, their endeavours raise questions as to what can and cannot be ultimately perceived and comprehended about physical reality.
