L’ARCHÉOLOGIE À L’ENVERS – An experimental journey through image, science, and fiction, L’archéologie à l’envers brings together the photographs of Giuseppe Curcio and Julia Gounon in a book articulated into six chapters. Traversing graphic and photographic languages with scientific methodologies, the project unfolds as a cycle in which fragments are archived, reconstructed, destroyed, reassembled, reordered, and ultimately reimagined. From analytical cataloguing to hypothetical illustrations, from archaeological gestures of symbolic violence to new sculptural configurations, the book oscillates between documentation and invention. Closing with a phase of false cataloguing set in an imagined landscape, L’archéologie à l’envers questions the shifting boundaries between reality, memory, and fiction.
