aurèce vettier | phénomènes atmosphériques

NFT DROP: 16 AUGUST 2024 | 6 PM CET

"phénomènes atmosphériques" by aurèce vettier is a collection of eleven artworks that evoke the awe and melancholy of fleeting natural phenomena. Inspired by a childhood memory of witnessing the Hale-Bopp comet, these works capture the haunting beauty of comets, auroras, and storms—sometimes rare atmospheric events that once filled the night sky with wonder.

In this series, aurèce vettier attempts to reconstruct these celestial moments using a bespoke text-to-image AI model, reflecting on their impermanence and the encroaching impact of modernity, where landscapes once untouched by time are now overtaken by concrete and artificial light. Each piece serves as a fragment of a lost world, a tribute to the ephemeral splendor that once was.

Part of the group exhibition THE PATH TO THE PRESENT, 1954–2024. On view at EXPANDED.ART in Berlin from 2 July – 7 SEPTEMBER 2024.
