Being the case that the center of the Milky Way can be better observed from the Southern Hemisphere, indigenous peoples of the Andes invented a notion of constellations that is not made by drawing imaginary lines between shinning stars, theirs rather are formed by the interstellar dust floating in the center of our galaxy, which casts shadow forms.
Ancient ‘dark constellations’ conceived in the Andes mountains of South America.
This material astronomical conception is at the foundation of these series of works.
The resulting vessel is then displayed on an astronomical mount, which is programmed to endlessly follow planet Venus. In this way, this extraterrestrial material is constantly aligning to its original source in outer space.
