Amélie Bouvier - Staring Into The Night
Product Details
Staring Into the Night is a book that brings together Amélie Bouvier’s research and artistic work inspired by astronomical stories and the history of sky observation, from the late 19th century to the present day. Amélie was particularly interested in the collection of astronomical photographic glass plates at Harvard College Observatory in the United States, which she was able to visit in 2019. Its contents have fueled her imagination for the past five years and form the basis of her latest projects, which explore the history of observation, our link to representation and scientific imagery, and the issues that shape our collective memory and heritage.

Amélie Bouvier grew up in Portugal, and studied at the Institute des Arts in Toulouse from which she graduated with a DNSEP. Amélie Bouvier’s artistic practice builds from historical research in the field of astronomy to question issues related to cultural memory and collective heritage. Astronomers in particular, and scientists in general, don’t only explain the world, they also represent it through the construction of diagrams, illustrations, photographs or equations.

For Bouvier, scientific imagery is an extension of knowledge that reveals ideological and ethical frameworks, which risk cloaking aspects of the reality they aim to represent. She is particularly interested in the sky and stars as a landscape that exposes current socio-political contradictions and knowledge gaps.

Harlan Levey Projects in Brussels represent Amélie Bouvier. This book is made possible with the support of Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles, Paris, and Harlan Levey Projects.
