67P / CONSERT - Limited Edition of 5 Photograph

My project "67P" is an investigation of light, time and space as explored through photography. It examines the mission of orbiter “Rosetta," which set out in 2004 to investigate a comet named 67P. The mission was a search, within the primeval soup, for proof of life within our wider universe. Rosetta reached the comet 10 years later, in 2014, and sent back detailed information about the comet before ending its mission by hitting the comet's surface in a controlled maneuver. I have been collecting old negatives illustrating the subject of ephemerality and impermanence for years. In "67P," I combine those negatives with images from ESA that depict Rosetta's journey to the comet. Part of the mission's goal was to answer questions about life on Earth; likewise, I included pictures of the human body in this series in order to stress the fact that our existence consists of essentially our place in our bodies. I also placed dated photographs of long-changed landscapes alongside high-tech images of Mars or the surface of 67P. Playing with these juxtapositions, I created a visual journey that considers universal questions on life, transience, time, and the remains of our existence—the imprints we leave behind as human beings. Simultaneously it's a journey through 100 years of technical advancement within photography and space-exploration. The pictures are named after the 11 scientific instruments and the lander on board of "Rosetta".
