Planetarium tent made by Velcro and reflective sheets on cotton and flashlights (4×4 meters)

Work description

When Pluto was disregarded as a planet in our solar system due to its lack of gravitational pull and orbit, it became clear this “knowledge” is not a “fact” that scientists used to explain their study.

This replicated universe invites you to move and allow these tiny stars (illuminated by the light of your flashlight) to orbit according to your imagination around the cosmic tent.

“Like walking into a planetarium, Sutthirat Supaparinya’s light installation “Orbited Objects” invites you to experience a galaxy of tiny stars illuminated by your flashlight, orbiting according to your imagination around the cosmic tent.”
