HONORARY MENTION
Installation
52 mechanical devices follow in real time the paths and movements of mysterious manmade objects in outer space. We know only that these objects exist but have no idea of their mission and function.
These are satellites or remnant pieces, orbiting the earth without being officially acknowledged. No nation has laid claim to them, and their purpose is unclear. But there are a few ambitious amateur astronomers who trace such objects and make their existence known to the public.
The installation Positions of the Unknown localizes these enigmatic. Each pointer follows the movements of one of those artefacts. Officially denied and yet objectively present, they linger in a state between existence and non-existence.
