A set of dualities transcribes stellar and sensory objects, experiences, and apparatuses grounded in Marseille. A symbolic plateau bears urban pavement failures and cosmic cracks; an ephemeris of Venus becomes eternalized and undone on a plexiglas cenotaph; asteroids become city-, human-, and shipwreck- ontologies; a galaxy group and a sister inhabit their multiplicities in 5.2 g plant-based glitter; lived and missed moments are found in stars on the floor, a candle, a song. Fictive museology and sailcrafting intersect in a subjective constellation on the city of Marseille, transformative ruptures, and distant narratives of otherworldly longing.
