COSMOGRAPHIA

A–Dash • Athens / Greece • 2019

Cosmographia was an exhibition project by Katherina Heil on the occasion of her artist-in-residence period at A-Dash in Athens. The working period was made possible with the kind support of Mondriaan Fonds Amsterdam.

Cosmic phenomena have always been an inspiration to explore, research, imagine and create mythologies and stories in order to give meaning and context to our lives. As it unfolds, the interpretations and visualizations of the cosmos constitute spaces, give a notion of presence, communicate time. Moreover, it may trigger sensations of awareness or a shift in perspective, a mind-bending sense of placing oneself in the context of the idea of an expanding universe.
