Pic of the Day: A Space Odyssey
10:11 am Wednesday Dec 9, 2009 by Caroline Stanley

The wandering astronaut in Vincent Fournier’s Space Project 1 reminds us of that “pair of ragged claws” from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, “scuttling across the floors of silent seas.” The photographs in the series were shot at real space training facilities around the world and feature actual staff members. We love the retro sci-fi vibe. Who needs space tourism when you’ve got the badlands of Utah?

More of this Brussels-based artist’s lovely, lonely images below the cut.
