TOP OF THE WORLD

When producing works of art, the artist judges a piece’s themes from a point of view that is charateristical to the artist’s beliefs and to the perspective which he takes on things. In many cases, this point of view is set outside the system the piece is about. Besides criticising given facts, an outside point of view gives a perspective onto things that is free from preoccupation and theme-inherent perception.
In the case of «Earth Extremes», the point of view is situated outside of our planet, and the artist looks upon the Earth like an alien traveller arriving from another star.
The planet’s features and its relations to the other celestial bodies in the solar system are observed as if seen from beyond, and redefined. Travels are undertaken to reach these points.
