Piccard and Cousteau explored the oceans’ deepest fathoms, the astronauts punch through the Earth’s atmosphere and into infinite space. Possessed with the same spirit, I wish to take you on a breathtaking visual odyssey far beyond the reach of the naked eye. For a “spaceship”, I use a scanning electron microscope. Join me in my journey into the unknown. We land in lunar landscapes on the back of an ant, explore secret valleys on a sea ursin spine, cross mountains made of pollen, discover strange cities on microscopic continents, or take shelter in plancton nanocaves.

France Bourély is the first photograph explorer to have been dubbed a “micronaut” by NASA astronauts in 1994. Two years later, her image of the respiratory pores of a gnat’s abdomen was brought in space by astronaut Mike Lopez-Alegria,  to fly 216 times around the world aboard the space shuttle Columbia. In April 2022, Mike L-A, holder of many NASA records, commanded the crew dragon capsule of Axiom-1 mission,  and was launched towards the International space station by falcon 9 of spaceX.
