The installation starts from the history of navigation instruments in the Medieval and Renaissance shipping. In the context of their journey, these organs are understood as a material sign of European culture with the cultures of the East, reflecting the conflict between the known and familiar with the unknown, the uncanny and the magical elements transcribed into the instruments through imaginary reinterpretation in the open and often monstrous objects, ultimately losing their original use.

Our Sun as a Red Giant, first swallows Mercury, sucks Aphrodite, encodes the Earth, and finally approaches Mars. The explosion ejects and dissolves the casing and it ignites. The uncanny of the dark side of a being that was initially designed in light. What happens when the darkness falls?
