Observes stars, travels in space, builds new worlds, makes living entities or reprogram it, see beyond the visible …
The work of Vincent Fournier proposes a journey in some of the most representative utopias of the XX and XXI century.

Result of a long preparation and an attraction for opposite, his works are poetic and accurate, freely fed by lm and literary inspirations. Fascinated by the science, the architecture, the technologies and their mysteries, his images explore its fictional and wonderful potential.

In these imaginary archives, the memory works in both directions – or as says the White Queen in Alice in Wonderland – in the past but also in the future. A world, in which we remember what did not arise yet – of what will happen tomorrow.
