Interstellar Return (Phenomena) presents an Aotearoa-specific outcome of our ongoing Interstellar Return research project, which seeks to explore the connective capacity of the human between the geologic and the cosmic across affective and material frames. Focusing upon the hypothesised void space of the Mahuika Crater, a supposed underwater impact structure located in the Pacific Ocean, and the constructed and demarcated void space of Point Nemo, famously known as the ‘spaceship graveyard’, Interstellar Return (Phenomena) explores what constitutes empty space, and what we create to fill it.
