Pascal Hausherr
The prospective science, considered as the science of the the « man to come » by its founder Gaston Berger, aims, through a rational and holistic approach at preparing the futur of human being. The point of it isn’t to forecast the futur but to elaborate possible and impossible scenari through their perception of the moment on the basis of available data analysis, and understanding and accounting the socio-psychologic processes. Pascal Hausherr photographs composing this truly artistic body of work, seem to acknowledge the moment just before or after a certain idea of disaster, that one can’t name but feel. Are we facing the story of the intuition of what is to come ? One can also identify through this set of images a contemporary answer to No Small Journeys, by Robert Adams in the 1980s.
