The spectacles of the sky have captivated artists throughout history. Following in the footsteps of people from all known cultures, this photographer expanded his focus to stellar and solar movements as seen from earth. Taken across several countries and archipelagos, these images are the fruits of a project on astrodynamics, the movements of the sun, the stars, and the moon. An analog camera is used as a recorder, inscribing the movement of the stars on the surface of photographic paper to trace the trajectory of bodies invisible to the human eye, capturing the wonder of umbra and the sunrise and sunset at the polar circle and the equator.
