How do we observe that which we cannot experience directly? Whether searching the surfaces of distant worlds or revealing the image of a black hole, science seeks to extend our perception ever further. What can we learn about ourselves by observing outer space?. Whereas specific aspects of photography traditionally have been considered suspect as used for science, imaging has within the last few decades become a major tool for research. However the further we seek, the more subjective perception itself may become a metaphor for reality.

Combining two film installations by Minna Långström and María Molina Peiró, the exhibition delves deep into the various implications of photographing our solar system emphasizing the dynamics between physical, virtual and mediated experiences. From the first photographs of Mars, Earth and early images of the Moon’s surface until the recent Mars imagery taken by Curiosity as well as the latest icon of space imaging; the black hole, the exhibition opens up questions about the profusion of images and imaging technologies within sciences and our place in the larger nature of reality. How much we can ever hope to see?
