Noémie Goudal is inspired by theories developed in the field of geology, which aim to explain how mountains were formed. Scientists were particularly intrigued by whether natural formations were the result of mathematical theorems. The Dismantlements series explores this question from a unique perspective. While we are accustomed to viewing landscapes as something entirely fixed, they are, in reality, in perpetual motion. Even massive rocks, which appear to be frozen in time, have been transformed through various geological processes. Noémie Goudal photographed a mountain, printed it on water-soluble paper (which dissolves on contact with water), and then adhered it to a transparent tarp, cutting along the edges of the mountain to create a reproduction approximately two meters wide. She then positioned this reproduction in front of another mountain, or more generally in front of a landscape. Through the effect of perspective, the reduced mountain blends seamlessly into the landscape.
