Sublunary
They’re Here!
Sublunary ~ Belonging to this world as contrasted with a better or more spiritual one.
"The concept was irrational to sublunary minds"
A metaphorical series of night time landscape photographs that follow the narrative of an imaginary alien invasion of the planet Earth.
An alien race far more superior to anything that we could ever imagine, exists in a dimension that runs entirely adjacent to ours, side by side and within the context of our creators. They placed the human race on Earth to allow their souls to experiment with the three dimensional human experience we know, living with pain and emotion and using thought at the weakest level known in the universe.
The race was infiltrated as part of an inter-dimensional war between races of beings beyond our comprehension and the prize was the Earth and the human experience. The only way these beings could enter Earth was to materialise as everyday objects but they were unable to disguise their other worldly appearances from the trained eye.
The moon was placed in to the Earth’s orbit with a false front, designed to look like a celestial object, yet on the dark side of the non-rotating moon, led a terrifying secret, a distant platform for the planned invasion of Earth.
Their plan - Materialise on Earth as objects that the human race would pass off as belonging, Sublunary.
Each photograph has been created in a single frame, over 13-15 seconds and coinciding with the rotation of the planet Earth.
De Montfort University hold the first five prints, which were created on Fine Art Giclee Baryta Glossy paper.
These are available as a collection and individual prints, poa.
