We have always looked at the illuminated night sky. Now we know a lot about the stars, planets, nebulae, galaxies and many other objects, but we know little about the black, from empty space. James Web is the most powerful satellite ever launched into space. It is a machine, a radar with eyes, with ears eager to perceive the mystery. Among other things, Your task is to try to decipher what dark energy is, which covers more than ninety percent percent of the known universe. Dark energy is not a particle, it is not a gas, it is not solid, however it is everywhere and goes through everything, even ourselves. The only What is known with certainty is its force of attraction, its gravity that pushes and binds the smallest and most massive objects in the universe. In this pictorial series Ariel Sainz positions himself as a kind of satellite, he uses his sensory body, its machine, the most advanced of all, to try to perceive and decipher also, the black one of empty space. Through meditative practices, isolation in wild nature, prolonged fasts to defeat reason and strip the body of any protection against the black uncertainty of not knowing, Ariel Sainz tries to grasp with the senses the ancestral fabric that underlies the invisible, the warp that interweaves everything, the plot that ties us together in a strange and incomprehensible mirage
