Pocket 4: Eternal eclipse

Which story will we tell?

Quelle histoire allons-nous raconter ?

The day starts anew

“#SUN - now - A girl from the front sitting on a gigantic orange bench. #SUN - now- A glowing sun disappearing beyond the horizon, sea and a sailing boat in shadow. #SUN - now - Lake with clear sky.” (Vidya-Kelie Juganaikloo)

The moon orbits all day, hiding in the sunshine, offering

“une tentative de réconciliation entre l’Ailleurs et l’Ici, d’embrasser les deux ensembles, avec des corps et des êtres multiples.” (Annick Bureaud Annick Bureaud, Quelle Planète (2025). )

Stretching into unknown galaxies, we return home.

“It matters wherehow ouroboros swallows its tail, again” (Donna Haraway Donna Haraway, Staying With the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chtulucene, 2016, Durham: Duke University Press. )
