This work can be seen, in a sense, as an astral timeline – a history of Time. Stellar Pipeline displays satellite images of galaxy formation spanning 13 billion years, mounted on a structure that resembles geological coring. The method of coring involves extracting a cylindrical soil sample to analyse its successive layers. Here, the cores do not refer to geological strata but to astronomical skies, whose timeframes greatly exceed human experience.
