Paris: Uchronie by Vincent Fournier
All About Photo
Uchronie, an exhibition at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature (Museum of Hunting and Nature), is dedicated to the work of photographer and artist Vincent Fournier.
Uchronie is the name given to a fictional reconstruction of history that might have differed from what we know. With this title, the exhibition is seen as so many disturbing parallel histories. What if?
In an alternative version of history, the Uchronie exhibition explores humanity's relationship with nature and technology. It raises questions about the possible evolution of life on Earth. Fournier is inspired by the utopian visions of the 20th and 21st centuries, such as space exploration and the redesign of life itself. His concept of 'future bursts' blends the phantastical and the believable, creating compelling stories from the past and present. The exhibition is a light-hearted exploration of how life as we know it has evolved over time.
Recognizing his unique work, the Museum invited Fournier to exhibit within its permanent collections. His 'augmented' animals, displayed alongside traditional taxidermy, create a wonderful juxtaposition. Observant viewers are drawn into a captivating game of spotting details that transform animals into enhanced future beings.
