Report of the Legal Subcommittee

2010. Inkjet print, 102.97 x 82.43 cm

 

Report of the Legal Subcommittee  is a print featuring a map of the stars, together with a found transcription of a  United Nations meeting in which various international delegations declare frustration with their 40-year-old, ongoing efforts to devise a legal definition of outer space.

This admission seems to hold a rich poetic potential, the human attempts to bureaucratize and control outer space seemingly frustrated by the sublime scale and mystery of its infinite depths.
