Klappentext

Pauline Julier, born in 1981, graduated in political sciences from the Université Grenoble Alpes and in photography from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie d'Arles; she also completed the SPEAP Art and Politics Experimental Program at Sciences Po in Paris. Her multimedia works featured in this book take us through the geological ages of planet Earth and into space. At the interface of documentary and fiction, Julier takes us on a dizzying journey through space and time. She interweaves different histories and combines natural disasters with the Anthropocene's paradigm shifts. Looking into the past and the future, Julier investigates highly topical questions about the unlimited use of natural resources, escapism, and the colonization of space.

Conceived and designed as a work of art in its own right, this volume offers a comprehensive insight into Pauline Julier's art and thought through a conversation with eminent scholar of science and technology studies Donna Haraway, and contributions by curator Céline Eidenbenz; anthropologist and writer Nastassja Martin; and art historian, curator, and author Chus Martínez.
