Katie Paterson's work is currently on display at Museum Giersch der Goethe-Universitat.
Today, astronomy and astrophysics are highly technological fields of science – yet at their core, their research questions still carry the same driving force that has preoccupied humankind since time immemorial – the question of our place in the universe.
This exhibition explores the fascination with space and connects current astronomical and astrophysical research with contemporary art. It brings together Prof. Dr. Camilla Juul Hansen and Prof. Dr. Hannah Elfner, scientists in theoretical and applied physics at Goethe University, with the artists Katie Paterson and Armin Linke, as well as the artist and PhD student Nina Caviezel and Prof. Dr. Estelle Blaschke, Professor of Photographic Media at the University of Basel.
The newly created works resulting from this exchange engage with the researchers' questions and working methods.
