Un bellissimo disordine

 

Trova un oggetto di cui hai più pezzi. Alcune idee: sacchetti di plastica per la spesa, pezzi di carta (strisce sottili, carta velina o coriandoli), bastoncini, foglie, vestiti, calze. Lanciali in aria. Fotografa o fai un video del momento del volo.

Un beau désordre 

Trouve un objet dont tu as plusieurs exemplaires. Par exemple, des sacs de courses en plastique, des morceaux de papier (fines bandes, papier de soie ou confettis), des petits bâtons, des feuilles, des vêtements, des chaussettes. Jette-les en l’air. Photographie ou filme le moment du vol.

Schönes Durcheinander

Such dir einen Gegenstand, von dem du mehrere Exemplare zuhause hast. Hier einige Beispiele: Plastikeinkaufstüten, Papierschnipsel (dünne Streifen, Papiertaschentücher oder Konfetti), Stöcke, Blätter, Kleider, Socken. 

Werfe die Sachen hoch in die Luft. Fotografiere oder filme sie in dem Moment, wenn sie fliegen.
