Contemplating these abstract tondos, it's hard to imagine the roar of the Viking engines that propel Ariane rockets, seen through their projection cone. Here, the Viking engines recall the iris and pupil of an eye, or the lens of a camera... Taken out of context, without artifice, these motors have entered the serene world of works of art.
