‚Atlas of voids‘ is an investigation of the emptiness employing the tools of philosophy and science. The work explores the void as a sensor. A sensor of the change of light, the change of smell, the change of the perception of space. It arises from the nothingness between things related,between thoughts and feelings and the space that occurs full of darkness. The works acts as an immersive voyage into the concepts of becoming and interconnectivity of all things around us by examine, mapping and recreate different layers of reality. A visual poem exploring the void.
