As a civilisation we perceive darkness as a threat. We associate it with blindness, fear, mystery, something out of control. These negative associations create fundaments for the reality where the levels of light pollution raise fastest in the history of the Earth. Levels of melatonin in blood gets dangerously low, species crucial for the ecosystem die out and starry nights are no longer present in our lives.
By loosing starry nights, we are also loosing something very human: a feeling of interconnectedness that directly affects our psychology and behaviours.
The project has started as an investigation of light pollution, but it soon became the opposite - a love letter to darkness and what it represents.
