The ghosts of the living <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
In a glass box that resembles a scientific cabinet, a cloud floats in a suspended state, as if trapped in a cage.\r\n <\/div>\n
\n

\u201cO\u00f9 sont nos souvenirs rang\u00e9s<\/strong>\u201d (where are our stored memories) is an ironic allusion to the Cloud, which allows increasing quantities of information to be stored on the internet.
\nThis work forms part of an ongoing project entitled \u201cLes Fant\u00f4mes du Vivant\u201d (Phantasms of the Living), which offers a vision of invisible, natural and supernatural, forces inspired by the \u201cwonder of science\u201d and technology.
\n It explores the relationships and the increasingly porous boundaries between the rational and irrational.

Powder 3D printing <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The cloud was created by Initial by 3D printing using powder sintering<\/a> with a highly realistic rendering of the details and relief.
\n It levitates using an electromagnetic field system, the technical workings of which are concealed both inside the cloud and in the depth of the base.
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

INSPIRATION
\n <\/h5>\n

The project is inspired by the work of the philosopher Henri Bergson<\/a> and his speech in 1913, on accepting the Presidency of the Society for Psychical Research, which would later become the Society of Psychology.
\n \u201cLes Fant\u00f4mes du Vivant\u201d is the name of the research conducted in 1886 by this society, which lists more than 700 testimonies of phenomena of mind over matter.<\/p>\n

At the end of this conference, Bergson would propose a uchronic narrative where the order of emergence of knowledge in our society is reversed: first psychic sciences and then physical sciences.<\/p>\n

Vincent FOURNIER\n <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
Vincent Fournier\u2019s images invite us to reflect on the evolution of our world and the way in which we perceive time.\n Having grown up with \u201cthe end of history\u201d and living in an eternal present, his images question our past and future utopias\u2026 What expectations do we have for our future and is the future already the past?\n <\/div>\n
\n

In these imaginary archives, memory works in both directions \u2013 or as the White Queen says in Alice in Wonderland: in the past, as well as in the future.
\n A world in which you remember what has not happened yet \u2013 what will happen tomorrow.
\n His founding project is Space Project<\/strong>, a genuine global tour of the most emblematic places in space exploration, which have aroused the fantasies and most ardent hopes of an entire generation.
\n Artificial intelligence and robotics will be a whole new playing field, with a uchronic perspective of humanoid robots and dialogues, tinged with humour, between man and his cybernetic double.<\/p>\n

His most recent work Post Natural History<\/strong> poses the question of possible changes to living beings by technology and, in particular, biological engineering.
\n Although photography remains his preferred medium, 3D printing<\/a>, films and installations sometimes accompany certain projects.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

Biography <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
Vincent Fournier is a French artist born in Ouagadougou in 1970.\r\n His childhood was filled with science fiction films and great utopian stories.\r\n After graduating in sociology and visual arts, he went on to study at the \u00c9cole Nationale de la Photographie in Arles and obtained his diploma in 1997.\r\n <\/div>\n
\n

After working as a creative director and photographer in the field of advertising and cinema for a number of years, he left to travel around the world in 2004.
\nIt was then that he produced his first collection, Tour Operator, which would lay the foundations of his photographic style: playing with scale, architectural composition using a scalpel, the beauty of precision, mastery of natural light, an interest in paradoxical situations combining tension with irony\u2026<\/p>\n

Moving from a documentary style to increasingly staged images, he explores fiction as a number of parallel realities.
\nHis work offers a journey into some of the 20th and 21st centuries\u2019 most representative utopias: the space adventure, futuristic architecture, artificial intelligence, etc.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
