Last days to visit (H) at Standard/Deluxe Rue Saint-Martin 38B 1005 Lausanne, CH 01/05/26 — 24/05/26 Merci beaucoup to all of you who showed so much interest, support and love. Y gracias, gracias, a todxs lxs que vinisteis al vernissage or passed by ❤️ Un grand merci à @sashadivia pour his attentive production support. Merci aussi à l’équipe de @_topla_ et @standarddeluxe.ch pour leur confiance et pour exhibiting this work in such a great space. Last but not least, to @david.zwicker for that cool and smart graphisme.

An omnipresent but ethereal, polarised but unifying element. Pointing out broader scenarios of connectedness as an act of resistance against today’s socio-environmental fragmentation.” Made possible with the generous support of: Pro Helvetia @prohelvetia Ville de Lausanne @villelausanne Canton de Vaud @etat_de_vaud Loterie Romande @loterieromande Arts Visuels Vaud

(H) Daniel Martínez Du 1er au 24 mai 2026 Vernissage le vendredi 01 mai 2026 dès 18h L’hydrogène est le premier élément à avoir vu le jour après le Big Bang. C’est le plus simple et le plus léger de tous les éléments chimiques, bien qu’il représente 90% des atomes de l’univers. Il entre également dans la composition de la molécule d’eau, qui recouvre près des trois quarts de la surface de la Terre, ainsi qu’une proportion similaire du corps humain. En ce sens, l’hydrogène est à la base de la vie. Pourtant, il sert aussi à fabriquer l’arme la plus destructrice jamais conçue : la bombe H, au cœur de laquelle un processus de fusion thermonucléaire semblable à celui du Soleil est reproduit, libérant une puissance de destruction bien supérieure à celle des bombes atomiques. (H) explore la condition paradoxale d’un élément à la fois vital et brutal, omniprésent mais insaisissable, polarisant mais unificateur. Ce projet met en lumière des formes élargies d’interconnexion, comme un geste de résistance face à la fragmentation socio-environnementale contemporaine. @daniel___mrtnz Graphisme @david.zwicker

Out of a foggy day shooting for Adam’s prototype made from upcycled paraglides. Best team. Better fondue afterwards. Product: @adam__friedrich Editorial: @kasiafriedrich Typeface: @xleetype Image: 🙂

Photobook Feature: Famusa by Daniel Martínez @daniel___mrtnz explores the cultural landscape of Montserrat, a key historic site in Europe, and its 'second nature' produced by collective imaginaries that shape and constrain the location.

Featured Project: FUI-42 by Daniel Martinez  As a trans-temporal dialogue between Swiss scientist Alphonse Forel’s studies and contemporary scientific research, @daniel___mrtnz frames a fictional documentary that speculates with uncertain watery futures.

Glad to share some images of a new book. After digging for a while into the archives of the cold war, physics, astronomy and botany labs, and being mesmerized by observing the movement of the water and clouds. Some copies available during Offprint London 2024, Tate Modern, 17-19 May. @offprint_projects @ecal_photography Special thanks to: @david.zwicker @do.young_22 @giacomo.bastianelli @brunoceschel - - - - (H) 2024 Soft cover 316 pages 19.5 cm x 24.5 cm Hydrogen was the first element to appear after the Big Bang. It’s the most simple and the lightest of the elements, but it’s calculated to account for 90% of all the existing atoms in the universe. The Sun, akin to most stars, is formed by a constant flux of merging hydrogen. Water molecules are based on the same element. Providing, in combination with solar energy, the basis for life. However, the most destructive weapon ever deployed, the H-bomb, relies on its same properties. (H) explores the relationship of opposites given by the most subtle of the elements.
