“The camera seemed made to copy reality; it started to fashion dreams. The screen seemed destined to hold up a mirror to the human being; it offered the 20th century its demigods, the stars.”
Les stars, preface to the third edition, Edgar Morin.

Ad Astra proposes to generate before the traveller’s eye the “astral print” of Anna Cleveland, a Modigliani-esque supermodel, showgirl and daughter of the stars. We have fingerprints, so could we imagine having our own starprint?

Ad Astra starts with a face and then invites us to project ourselves into the cosmos, taking us on an odyssey into space through the stars/faces of the solar system. Before our eyes, thirty years of planetary movements condense freely and reveal the astral imprint of this human exploration, embodied by Anna Cleveland. From humanity to stardust, ad infinitum.
