Stardust - Limited Edition of 10 Print

This project consists of 10 images obtained by an overlapping process of two photographs: one taken by me and the other taken by Hubble Telescope. I have explored with my camera the colourful and cramped 3x2 sqm rooms for rent where the waria, Indonesian transgender people, live and keep their belongings. Their bodies, their faces, and their gestures constantly question my identity, as the Hubble telescope scraps portions of an unknown universe, in search of answers to the questions that mankind has always been asking: who are we? Where are we from? The ethereal beauty of the galaxies expands the boundaries of the tiny spaces and the crumbling buildings waria live in, creating new worlds of flesh and bright stars, hidden thoughts and fluctuating iridescent gases. A mute correspondence of forms and meanings, only seemingly opposed, is established: when we’ll realize that we are just a part of all that is in the Universe, then severance will cease to exist, because everything in the Universe is the same within us. The print is a fine art print on Handle FB 350 paper, in limited edition. The print is a 70x105cm ready to be framed. Other print sizes are possible upon request.
