Journey Through Universe
Artist: Sila Guven
Based in Kusadasi, Turkey
The exhibition “Journey Across the Universe I” marks a beginning in the quest for the universe and indicates that humankind’s journey will continue onwards with dark matter, black holes, multi universe and cosmology’s newest findings… I interpret this quest by using scientific research and observations as reference points. Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most creative and productive scientific instruments developed by men. It compiles the images and data obtained from its observations and transmits these to Earth.
