| book description |

â€œAlchemy is the attempt to build a world in which every thing is the mind and the hand of something other. A world where everything breathes and yearns in unison. â€ Modern Alchemy is the brainchild of Viviane Sassen and Emanuele Coccia. The photographer and the philosopherâ€”both leading figures in their fieldsâ€”weaved together images and words, engaging in a fruitful dialogue deeply rooted in the Champagne terroir and the inspiring relationship Maison Perrier-JouÃ«t entertains with art and nature. â€œArt and nature are not only equivalent but that they are also twins born from the same mother. â€ A series of 80 photographs and an essay intersect and collide, creating a space where the creativity of matter throughout all living things can be marveled at anew. Pictures mix and match with ideas, the history of planet Earth encounters that of artistic creation, and matter joins hands with the mindâ€”producing an infinitely manifold work of art and establishing a modern alchemy where both vision and thought can be upended and renewed. â€œAs long as matter exists, nothing can prevent it from irreparably transforming everything around it. Such art imbues everything: each reality is more of an artist than a form. â€
