Aurora—Purple Moon/T1 ISS

»Review«

View from my kitchen window: Sky at sunrise in February, one of various variants of “Behind the Curtain.” A characteristic of these variants are the recurring electricity pylons (in varying numbers), which—like the trees, when visible—stand for life energy in a figurative sense.

Take the theme “Purple Moon” Isis, delete the second “i” from the name of the goddess, and you end up with the “International Space Station” (ISS), which orbits the Earth about every thirty minutes at an altitude of 400 kilometers from west to east at a speed of 29,000 kilometers per hour. Instead of the ancient Egyptian goddess, the space station appears in front of the moon.

The photograph is of the early morning sky over Bochum, and the work is therefore part of the ‘Playing around with skies’ series. The SKY series explores the theme of “SKY” on three levels: visual, written, and sound.
