The project consists of a reinvention of myths and constellations upon a newly drawn map of the stars, based on poems blindly re-transcribed. It is a fictional cartography of a universe where the constellations of galaxies are associated with the poetry of varying epochs. On the circular surface, each point represents a galaxy visible today. One million points have been carefully counted and drawn. An initial constellation connects certain galaxies like a subtle dialogue between authors. Impossible encounters across time and space.
