In Partnrship:

Can we  tour a place that we will never visit? In April 2022, astronaut Eytan Stibbe  spent two weeks on the International Space Station (ISS). During this time,  we corresponded daily. Every morning, I sent the astronaut three sentences.  For each sentence, he responded with a photo. The images sent from space  became a starting point for a lecture-performance that took the shape of a  remotely guided tour of the Station — a joint navigation of ideas, images and  distances, in which the artist controlled the astronaut and became an  eyewitness who could not see for herself. The performance explored the  politics of New Space representation, delving into the implications of a  rapidly developing, increasingly privatized techno-political arena. Space  used to be the limit. Today, it is becoming a new technological and  economical frontier. This lecture-performance follows Robert Smithson’s  concept of “Ruins in Reverse,” a term first used during the Space Race to  describe “memory-traces of an abandoned set of futures” (Smithson 1996d: 72).  As with Smithson, the project uses fictioning as a method to explore the  co-presence of many different pasts and futures within a given landscape.
