With or without legends, these images of stellar fields torn
from their context of production and use resemble as much a
photogram of dust clusters as a magnification of the photolytic
structure of the silver grains constituting the image. Stars or
grains of silver? Sky or picture? The fascinating beauty of these
photographs oscillates in vertigo between the immensely
large and the immensely small, between the star and the task,
between the dust and the star. And the boundaries are porous
between a scientific image and an abstract image offered to
aesthetic delight.
The intention is different, but the fact remains that an isolated
and decontextualized image loses its scientific character.
These osmosis between scientific and artistic images recall
the malleability of photographs. And this malleability is one of
the specificities of the photographs. They have this immense
facility to one day be in the field of science, another in the field
of archive and then art to be considered again as documents
and finally all at once. Luce Lebart

An end index helps us to trace this archive thanks to the
invaluable help of the LAM astrophysicists who were able to
recontextualize these images.
