In The Space Project, Brussels-based photographer takes us on a curious photographic journey through the retro-infused, futuristic world of the age of space-travel. 聽
Over the four years of work on this project Fournier has managed to gain access to some of the most important and often secretive facilities and institutions of the space-age,聽 including , in Utah, the Guiana Space Centre and Nasa鈥檚 Apollo control centre.
Fournier uses this access to re-interpretate his topic with a sense of irony and aesthetic that has been compared to an 鈥渆ncounter with Jules Verne and Jacques Tati鈥�.聽 Whilst the facilities and settings are real, the images are created聽 to invoke something that is not there, a dreamy science-fiction world that highlights an 鈥渁mbivalence between fantasy and reality鈥�
