New Constellation 2007
Dimming of the Earth’s atmosphere due to particulate pollution and urban sprawl from cities makes it almost impossible to experience the night sky in our own backyards. In this work, manipulated maps of star constellations and satellite images space of the Earth at night create a simulated star-scape. Centered in the manipulated Milky Way includes lights from cities such as Los Angeles, Johannesburg, Tokyo, New Delhi, and New York. As we loose the experience to look into the night sky with infinite awe and wonder at the stars visually this work is about void. The black hole surrounding the frame of these images disappears and the dark circle becomes similar to the experience of looking through a telescope.
