Observatory discusses contemporary and historical perceptions on studying beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Historically the Observatory was a place or building equipped and used for making observations of astronomical, meteorological, or other natural phenomena. In this installation, the form dissolves the lens of the telescope, using a mirror to reflect the viewer. Arguably the desire to find, identify and understand the life beyond Earth’s atmosphere has in turn revealed much about the Earth and those who observe.
