Deep Field [The Photographic Universe]

2012, wall drawing, telescope, microdot lightboxes 3650 x 2400 mm. Commissioned by Castlefield Gallery.

Connecting Victorian Manchester’s invention of microdots to the early universe, this pseudo-planetarium maps 450 celestial objects. It employs deep-field sky databases to embody our simultaneous distancing from, and revelation of, material reality made possible through photography and the growth of data-driven comprehension
