"Despite the images of earth and moon sent back to us
from space telescopes, we still say that the sun rises at dawn. We do not think
of our home as a sphere spinning in space a visceral astronomical truth. This
film proposes to form it's own constellation of evidence and experience within
this truth" (J. Liotta).
"Imaging the human relationship to the cosmos,
by collecting the light of stars in the night sky with a camera, as a civilian
act of observation available to anyone" (M.
McE.)
