Ultraplanets is an astronomical atlas based on a deliberate manipulation of NASA’s archive. Factual images, captured by probes and telescopes, are dissected and combined with unrelated visual fragments, and subsequently reassembled to create new imaginary worlds.
The process undergoes several stages. It begins by transforming digital images into physical negatives, similar to traditional film processing. These are then developed in a darkroom. However, instead of using standard chemicals, images are developed using special homemade recipes derived from plants.
