From July 17 to September 10, 2025, Saint Laurent Rive Droite will present a selection of photographs from the series Flora Incognita by Vincent Fournier, curated by Anthony Vaccarello.
Vincent Fournier is a French visual artist whose work explores the imaginaries of the future through the lens of science, technology, and fiction. From space exploration to utopian architectures and speculative ecosystems, his photographic series reflect on how the future was once imagined — and how we imagine it today.
His artworks feature in major collections including the MET, Centre Pompidou, JP Morgan, Garance Primat collection, the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature and have been exhibited at institutions such as the Mori Art Museum (Tokyo) and the Triennale di Milano.
Flora Incognita is a speculative herbarium that envisions how plant life might evolve on exoplanets beyond our solar system. Inspired by the adaptability of terrestrial flora in extreme environments, the series imagines ecosystems where plants develop new morphologies in response to unknown forces.
Created using a hybrid process of photogrammetry and 3D, the project models these fictional species with hyperreal precision. It is presented as encyclopedic plates and forms part of a broader reflection on biodiversity, climate change, and the poetic possibilities of life elsewhere.
All exhibited works will be available to purchase in-store.
