[Extract of the video Out of Nothing]
Out of Nothing is a video that dissects and recombines images from NASA's publicly available archive to create imaginary worlds. It uses a hybrid visual language that combines astronomical photography with analog staged shots, sculptural elements, and seemingly unrelated video clips. The video manipulates the cosmic imagery and at the same time evokes a sense of unease and wonder.
It is inspired by Ultraplanets, a photographic series that forms a fictional astronomical atlas. However, like any atlas, it represents only a reduction of reality. Like the Mercator projection, which makes Greenland look as large as Africa, it becomes so familiar that we stop questioning it.
