Fotografiska Stockholm | 'SPACE': Groupexhibition with Vincent Fournier

Throughout history, humans have looked up to the stars and tried to understand what is out there. Space represents how we can expand the outer limits for what is possible, our drive to discover something new, and stepping into the unknown. All the while raising the eternal questions of who we are and where in this vastness we belong.

In this winter’s major exhibition at Fotografiska, Space – A Visual Journey, artistic expression meets scientific discoveries with 13 internationally renown photographers who all explore space from their own perspectives.

"delve into the immensity of space"

“Space is an experience where we delve into the immensity of space and are able to expand our senses and our universe through art. It is an exhibition to experience together across generations, and it hopefully inspires many interesting discussions,” says Johan Vikner, Global Director of Exhibitions at Fotografiska.

Artists in the exhibition include multiartist and engineer Mikael Owunna, who explores the intersections of science, art, and African cosmologies. Irish artist Rhiannon Adam shares how she was chosen among millions of applicants and as the only woman to take part in Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa’s SpaceX trip to the moon. She describes how space has long been accessible to the extreme rich and the superhuman, while here a group of civilians were for the first time going to travel to the moon and back to observe, create, and gain new perspectives and insights. The project was unexpectedly cancelled in June 2024, and the participants who had invested several years in preparing themselves were forced to pick up the pieces of their lives that had been on hold.

And the amazing work of Vincent Fournier, who in 2017, in collaboration with NASA, produced a series of photographs of all the Space Centers in the USA.
