Salvage 1, satellite models made from space debris
Stefan Eichhorn has been studying the fate of satellites and other debris in geostationary orbit, 36,200 kilometres above the Earth's surface, which is designed to receive decommissioned spacecraft. Based on a collection of documents, he recycles these elements in a fictitious way to create sculptures designed with the utmost fidelity and attention to detail. The models are then photographed as if following their orbital course, celestial objects revealed by sunlight. Suspended outside time in an indefinable space, these satellite chimeras, which cast doubt on the veracity of their existence, also raise questions about their origin and status. Could it be that objects produced by human societies are acquiring a new autonomy in space, beyond all control?
