Join KOSMICA Institute and the artist Emilio Chapela in a solar action at the iconic Tempelhofer Feld.
In this event, we will create a film where all participants will use a mirror to remember all the stars in the sky that we cannot see because of light pollution. The abundance of lights in cities has affected our access to the night sky. Stargazing has become a rare and exceptional activity that is not only a privilege but should be cherished. The artwork is also a call to reduce the use of fossil fuels by celebrating solar energy. The resulting action will create a video work in which together we will create a constellation of stars and power on Earth.
After the action, we invite you to a picnic to celebrate our cosmos together - we hope you can make it!
WHAT TO BRING
All you need is a mirror of any size to direct towards the camera to reflect the sunlight. For the picnic, please bring some food to share and drinks!
DATE
Mark your calendars for Saturday, 26th August, from 11 am to 12 pm. Following the action, we will relax and enjoy the picnic.
If the Sun decides to hide away, our backup dates are 27th August or 2nd September.
Please, RSVP for confirmation of the date and exact location here.
thanks to
