Every hour, a dead star identified by the various space agencies around the world is printed on a special sheet of paper, using a printer connected to their databases. When this print is immersed in water, it begins expanding, like the growing Universe. Its shape continues to change several times, depending on the artist’s gestures, to form a variety of constellations, until it is completely dissolved. On an astronomical level, the death of a star takes a very long time, but in this case, it is brought down to human scale.
