“Where the Sun Goes to Sleep” is constructed around four scenes; each one using a different narrative voice to explore meteorite showers throughout modern history. Incorporating witness testimonies, each scene explores the various reactions one can feel when observing this event. Often linked to the historical context of the witness, the words used convey astonishment, fear, curiosity or pure scientific reasoning. Through the usage of these historical voices, Bouvier reflects upon how we remember these events, and how memory can survive throughout time. In this way, writing, storytelling, and their subsequent study become means to resist these events falling into oblivion. As such, the visual and narrative material gathered in this work can be seen as a metaphorical dialogue that translates the vulnerable state of our collective memory.
