"Where
we're just gone?. We visit a country whose place on the world map is completely
undetermined. The
language here is spoken, remains completely incomprehensible - we do not
even know what we are talking about. We
carry out actions, their precise importance even for ourselves remains
a mystery. And
we left the place just as ignorant as we have come. just as ignorant. "
Lars
Gustafsson
"ecco la fine del
mondo" - these words speaks Virgil to Dante, as they approach
the Hell in "Divine
Comedy": "Here is the end of the world."
The other end of
the world the Hubble telescope sighted, as it spawned the ULTRA DEEP VIEW.
Hubble UDV - is
the yet deepest view into the universe.
We're on the road,
somewhere between the idea of Dante's hell
and the promise
of the Hubble Ultra Deep View. For me these two poles mark
the track
between evil and good, on which the human existence takes place.
On a bright blue
LED panel we see a fantastic starry sky, I created on the
basis of the Hubble
UDV. The circled dot indicates the location of the farthest ever cosmic
object that is perceived
by the human eye, a galaxy whose light was traveling to us
13.2 billion light
years.
The crystal egg is
the materialization of a fictional object in a story by HG Wells.
It brings us into
visual contact with the still not yet emerged aliens.
I found this crystal
egg in Venice, more precisely, on a tour in Murano.
H.G. Wells had written
in a narrative of 1895:
"If you look up
at a special illumination on this crystal egg and if you hold the head
inclined at a certain
angle, then you begin to see creatures that look from the far reaches of
the universe to us."
They look to us
from exactly those distances, in which Stephen Hawking sends his
thirsting for knowledge
thoughts...

The light travels
with a speed of 266 km/h on the circuit. During the 26 day exhibition period it moves a distance
that extends 4 times at the equator around the earth. In 47 days it
reaches at this rate the moon and in 6000 years it crosses the
limits of our solar system.
