Between cosmic force and human hesitation –
what kind of image can hold a shifting world?
What if a meteorite could return?
How to make such a gesture legible?
The suitcase holds all it needs.
Inner images from the stratosphere. Acrylic and silver emulsions, caught on the edge of rupture.
Painterly gestures by Planetary Intimacies drift alongside poems by Joshua Groß. They mirror each other, merge, dissolve – signals caught mid-transmission.
To catch a meteorite with your teeth – only to feel it caramelise like a marshmallow in the stratosphere.
Between crater and anti-crater –
images emerge where impact and ascent fold into one another.
A brief inversion on the one-way street of planetary collisions.
An attempt to disrupt the linear feel of time – between drifting orbits and human narration.
When causality is thought to be linear – meteorite hiccups register as flickers of resistance.
