Caroline Corbasson and Andrea Montano

These archives from the 1950s to the 1990s are the fruit of the work of astrophysicists who worked at the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseille. Some of these images were major firsts in their time.
Long confined to a cupboard, these images of space gradually lost their function and their scientific usefulness. However, they have escaped the fate of many non-functional documents. They have not been destroyed but made available to the artist Caroline Corbasson who explores their poetry in a work developed with the photographer Andrea Montano.
