Fragments of Sunlight is composed of six small graphite drawings arranged together. Like the related series Moonlight on the Sun and Solar Dust, this work takes as its source damaged glass plate photographs of the Sun from the 19th-century archives of the Observatoire de Paris. Here, Bouvier presents the archive not as a complete image but as a constellation of fragments. Each panel isolates a different trace: the blur of a smudge, the edge of a flare, the interruption of a stain. These visual remnants are drawn with delicate precision, transforming what once might have been dismissed as error into a new form of insight. Together, the six drawings offer a quiet meditation on absence, reconstruction and the partial nature of knowledge. The fragmented structure encourages the viewer to move between images, assembling meaning from detail and suggestion. Fragments of Sunlight invites us to look closely, to read what remains, and to imagine what has been lost.
