From Here to Infinity book pages, mirror, aluminium.
Installation views: La Fine Dell’Universo, curated by Lumen Studio. Chiesa San Francesco Church, Atina, Italy.
A series of sculptures made from book pages from an encyclopaedia on astronomy. Over a 2-week period, during a residency with Lumen Studios, the book was deconstructed into small scale models that contemplated the scientific construction of astronomical imagert. Using folding techniques with the interplay of mirrors, prisms and lenses, the viewer is invitited to peer into potentially infinite spaces, and illusory corners of the universe. The complete floor installation takes on the appearance of strange laboratory experiment.
Inspired by the short story Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius by Jorge Luis Borges in which the author discovers a mysterious fictional world through the conjunction of a mirror and an encyclopedia.
