A visual journey through a deep-space odyssey: an abstract, subjective vision of the European Space Agency's photographic archive of the Rosetta mission. In December 2016 the agency made public all the photographs taken during the ten-year mission to comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, some 200,000 black-and-white images shot "blind" by three remote-controlled devices. Discovering the archive in 2017, Wysocka and Pogo set out to transform photography from science into art, and the book retraces the journey through the mission's pictures in different abstract ways. It is printed with a Risograph on paper made entirely of chalkstone, a combination of techniques that gives the book an extraordinary haptic quality, as if it had a gravity of its own.
