Aphelion – Artist Book about solar system and space

APHELION
The universe is beyond understanding. It exceeds the powers of imagination of us humans. And yet it is our "space" in which our earth also orbits around the sun somewhere - our solar system. It is tiny compared to what else is out there. And nevertheless gigantic. Hardly imaginable for a human being. Is it possible to make this ratio measurable? What happens if one represents the distance to the sun of all 8 planets in a book? How many pages does this book have? Can it be turned? And above all, which emptiness fills this endlessness of the book pages. An adventure! An experiment. A concept to explore and explode the medium of the book. With text excerpts from Carl Sagan's "A pale blue dot" and "Cosmos".
