The Edge of knowledge In this project Kremer takes the viewer on a cosmic and philosophical journey, a reflection on Heidegger's fundamental question: "why is there something instead of nothing?" “…in the chain that does not begin nor end. Randomly, ever since…” (Meir Ariel) I started the work from a collection of satellite images taken by NASA over several years. By weaving them together, I let the viewer perceive simultaneously opposite vantage points: looking towards the earth and then onto the moon. Then to this, I intertwined microscopic photographs of biological cells. The merging of microscopic and telescopic images question both our origin and our destination. In this photographic metaphor mixing science and philosophy, the final pieces become enigmatic visual haikus. They are puzzles about scale, equating space and time, past and future.
