Rabouan Moussion gallery is pleased to present Dysnomia,
Vincent Fournier's first solo exhibition at the
gallery.
Dysnomia is the name of a lunar star, but it's also a disorder of reference points and memory. Vincent
Fournier's images take us on a journey to the frontiers of appearances. A journey where things are not
always identifiable, where the temporalities of the past and the future blend together as if in an upside-
down world. The series presented in the Dysnomia exhibition play on the dreamlike quality of utopias that
resonate in our imaginations. The metamorphoses of Flora incognita show that living things, far from
being stable, are in constant transformation. The technique used to represent these flowers, which
combines photography and post-photography, also questions the mutation at work on reality and its
doubles. The architecture of the future of Brasilia, built in the year of the first satellite in 1957, echoes the
space imagination found in the landscapes of Iceland in collaboration with NASA and the Artemis
program to go to Mars.
