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 part of a broader photographic series that forms a fictional astronomical atlas. However, like any atlas, it represents only a reduction of reality. Much like the Mercator projection distortion, it normalizes the map, making it so familiar that its nature is not questioned.
