La Luna #1

The Moon, known as Selene in Greek mythology, is our anti sun, shining bright through the darkness when the sun has retreated, giving our planet and all who inhabit it new possibilities and potential. Kallweit’s work seems to question whether when science vies with faith, perceived knowledge with belief, we are in danger of losing our reverence for the unknown and perhaps unknowable.

Annett Kallweit’s Sol pieces reference both the mystical and the contructivist visions of mankind.  Spheres are sliced to reveal underlying rigid straight lines of structure, perhaps alluding to the our ultimately simplistic interpretation of the forces that created and sustain the Sun.  Perhaps the more we seek to understand the less we realise we know.
