Vincent Fournier, 1970, France, is an image-maker who combines
documentary and staged photography. He studied photography at the École
Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles. His ongoing series
entitled Space Project reflects his fascination for the space age. His inspiration stems from various things in his youth and by watching movies as 2001: A Space Odessey and Solaris.
His large scale images contain an aspect of humor, mainly due to
carefully placing his subjects and objects. For this project, as well as
his other personal works, he has traveled around the globe. Tour Operator is a body of work inspired by the book Around the world in 80 days
by Jules Vernes. He has documented the transformation of landscapes and
the interaction between mankind and the environment. In an intelligent
and witty manner he directs our eyes to the bizarre and the usual. In
his project The Man Machine he carefully staged robots in urban settings and the spaces where they are being developed. Both his projects Tour Operator and Space Project have been released as books. The following images come from the series Space Project, Tour Operator and The Man Machine.
