THE EMPTY SPHERE
Nothing really survives here.
The bottom is so deep that no light ever reaches it. Very few boats go through.
It is unknown when the falls will take place. An experimental portrayal of a space object and its fall into the darkness of a space cemetery. A woman scientist reveals her attachment to this object and the absence of images documenting this mysterious place. As a reverse sci-fi journey, this essay mixes real and fictional archives to guide us, like a stalker, to the outskirts of an invisible place.
