This project was a performative interview where 11 people were asked to try to explain with their bodies what they understand, don’t know, imagine and feel about the equinox. 

Taking advantage of the astronomical phenomenon that marks the transition from summer to autumn in the northern hemisphere, on September 23rd, 2023, a temporary observatory was installed in the Der Laden Gallery (Weimar, Germany) to study the affective understanding of this seasonal transit. There, a precarious observation area was (re)created where the artists, in the role of researchers, engaged in a dialogue with the participants of the experiment to digress around the understanding of the sun at this time of the year. In this dialogue, they reflected on themes and concepts such as language, translation, migration, and nostalgia as affective effects of the movement and intensity of the sun.
