AFTERGLOW. Conversations on Light

What connects art and astrophysics? Meet eight artists who, in dialogue with astrophysicists, explore the phenomenon of light.

Both art and astronomy share a fascination with the speculative and the mysterious — and with the sense that behind the fog lies a clarity that reveals itself in fleeting glimpses. Science tests and confirms hypotheses, while art examines the world through sensory experiences that evoke reflection.

Together, they can help us see the world in a new light and create new narratives about reality.

The exhibition invites you into a space where art gives form to astrophysical phenomena. Here you can experience works that are both visually captivating and thought-provoking — a meeting between scientific facts and aesthetic explorations of light, time, and cosmic spirituality.

Kirstine Roepstorff
