Sélénographie
Reliefs drawn outside are those of the Valle de la Luna in the Andes , named so for its resemblances with the lunar surface. The central drawing mixes prints showing craters with the surface of the Moon and the Earth.
On the wall, names refer to lunar sites (named so for centuries) showing how much the Moon, for the foreign and extra-terrestrial surface that it is, is always described, studied, named, according to terrestrial concerns.
This installation, which inextricably blends lunar and terrestrial geographies, reminds us that the Moon was always men’s projection space for in literature and science.
