Soulevements

‘Soulèvements’ is the continuation of a large-scale photographic project by Noémie Goudal that deals with the history of sciences and major geological theories. Starting from archaeological discoveries that have revealed the existence of fossils on mountaintops, the series reinterprets scientific findings about the Earth’s formation. Photographing using an array of 30 mirrors, Goudal sculpts rocky landscapes in improbable ways, playing with both the viewer’s gaze and imagination. In addition to the series of photographs, the publication contains a separate booklet with theoretical texts, an archive of scientific iconography, and images documenting the artist’s perspective.
