Space. About a Dream

€ 24.00

Space. About a Dream explores outer space as a site of artistic imagination and cultural projection. Rather than approaching space solely as a scientific domain,

the publication frames it as an aesthetic and conceptual field in which utopian visions, technological ambitions and speculative futures intersect.

The volume brings together artistic positions that engage with themes such as weightlessness, infinity, cosmic exploration and the imagery of space travel. Historical references to the space race and its mediated representations are placed in dialogue with contemporary works that treat the cosmos as a metaphor for knowledge, displacement and societal transformation.

Through essays and project contributions, the book examines the interplay between art, science and visionary thinking. Outer space emerges not only as a physical frontier but as a critical framework for reflecting on progress, control, imagination and humanity’s position within a larger universe.
