"The round planets move to the side-- new planets are emerging from the fixed stars" -- Paul Scheerbart

A note to the observer: This is a collage for our mother(s) and those between the lines. Much of this kinetic imagery was inspired the pantomime ballet Kometentanz (translation: Dance of the Comets: an Astral Pantomime in Two Acts) written by Paul Scheerbart and translated by W.C. Bamberger. May this remind you of all your surfaces.

Created by Grace Tong in collaboration with the performers
