アメリ・ブビエ
Amélie BOUVIER

1982年フランス生まれ、ベルギー、ブリュッセル在住。天文学の領域における歴史研究や、文化的記憶と集団的遺産に関する問いに基づいて実践を行う。科学的図像は、本質を覆い隠す構造を解明するための拡張した知識であると捉え、特に現在の社会政治的矛盾と知識の裂け目をさらす風景として、空と星に興味を持っている。ブビエの作品は歴史的事実、データ、視覚的素材に基づく一方、それらを図像と組み合わせて第三の可能性を提示する。近年の個展に2019年「Eight Minutes Ago」(Greylight Projects、ベルギー)他。

Amélie Bouvier (b.1982, France) lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. Her 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 expose current socio-political contradictions and knowledge gaps. While her work is based on historical facts, data and visuals, she consistently mixes this with speculative imagery, adapting tools and techniques to present alternative potentialities. Her recent exhibitions include “Eight Minutes Ago” (Greylight Projects、Belgium, 2019). Bouvier is represented by Harlan Levey Project, Brussels.
