My Journey to the Moon – Phase 2

2016, Installation

Stresa, Italy

Spirito del Lago

About the failure of an attempt to travel to the moon with everyday materials.
The story of the moon landing is like an improvised composition. The tools were the many successful and failed attempts made over decades. I am in the second phase. The first phase consisted of trying to fold a football-field-sized sheet of paper so many times that it made a tower that reached to the moon. This attempt failed. The second phase consists of the construction of a launch pad and the attempt to penetrate the atmosphere with a weather balloon. Unfortunately, this attempt also failed.
