Text excerpt, Evelyn Schuep, press release exhibition DORT, Basel 2010:
...as a paradigm of strangeness, the unknown and our longing for it, the exhibition presents photographic series of the surface of Mars for the first time.
Central and revealing is a large-format conceptual image work that places wishes, questions and statements about an existence in a place outside the Earth in our imagination: Would you feel lost or free...
A series of asteroids and celestial bodies takes the powers of imagination one step further. The sculpturally conceived, distant bodies symbolize the relativity of our being here to a possible being there.
