The four elements - water, earth, fire/light and air - were, for many ancient doctrines, the constituents of matter and explained the behavior of the world, to which is added the f ifth Aristotelian element: quintessence or ether or vacuum. Each element has its own laws and each one exists in different proportions within the other. They are added, mixed, creating the universe, a system that is defined by its variety and heterogeneity. The artist Cris Bartual has collected evocative and tangible manifestations of the elements, creating a compendium of natural phenomena and matter, presented here in an edition that restores their dynamism and complementarity.[CAS] Los cuatro elementos -agua, tierra, fuego/luz y aire- eran, para muchas doctrinas antiguas, los constituyentes de la materia y explicaban el comportamiento del mundo, a los que se añade el quinto elemento aristotélico: la quintaesencia o éter o vacío.
