After a degree in sociology and visual arts, Vincent Fournier graduated from the Ecole nationale supérieure de la photographie (ENSP) in Arles in 1997.

He explores, with photography but also other mixed media, the various mythologies of the future: the space adventure, the utopian architectures, the artificial intelligence and the transformation of the living. 

His works are part of several collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) in New York, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the MAST Foundation in Bologna, the Collection Dragonfly of Domaine des Étangs in Massignac, the LVMH collection in Paris and the Bullukian Foundation in Lyon.

He has collaborated with Louis Vuitton, Baccarat New York Hotel, Isetan Tokyo and Columbia Pictures. 

His project Post Natural History was published as a box set by Be-Poles (2013), as a book by Noeve Editions (2019) and was the subject of many presentations in museums and institutions such as the MET in New York, the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, the ArtScience Museum in Singapore, the EDF Foundation in Paris, the MAD in Paris, the Cnap in Pontmain, Australian Centre for Photography in Sydney, the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAI) in Rotterdam and the Science Gallery in Dublin, among others.

With his project Post Natural History, Vincent Fournier explores our relationship with nature and technology through an imaginary and anticipatory bestiary.

Post Natural History is inspired by the scientific « magic » and questions our connection to nature, between perception and knowledge, natural and supernatural, future and past, realism and surrealism. Like Renaissance cabinets of curiosities that explored distant spaces in search of unknown species, the Post Natural History project takes a trip back in time to imagine another Nature. With a beauty that is both strange and familiar, this poetic and sensitive bestiary mirrors our relationship to nature and technology by reflecting our hopes and fears.

Like encyclopedic boards of the future, the photographs reveal a collection of species in the process of appearing. Engraved on a brass plate, « scientific » explanations legitimize the images, paradoxically reinforcing both the reality and the fiction contained in these photographs. Post Natural History mixes history and anticipation, memory and science fiction.
