Educated in France, photographer Vincent Fournier appears especially fascinated by the American space program and its rich aesthetic of control rooms, space suits, and test facilities. But his love of the utopian quest of science extends around the globe in his project Space Program, which also captures space training in Russia, France, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, and French Guiana. While I adore Fournier's images and I admire his ability to contruct mini narratives that make his photos even more beautiful, I also see the series as ripe for misinterpretation. That's to say, I don't see this series as a critique of the efforts to explore space. In any case, for those of us with a NASA obsession, it's a revelatory and beautiful look at the mortals among us reaching for the stars.
