“In the story that concerns us here, the first dreamer is known as Camille Flammarion. A century ago, he commits a dream to paper. The second dreamer is the artist Anaïs Tondeur. Visiting the archives of Camille Flammarion, she recognized a dance between science and dream, characteristic of her practice. A dream brotherhood set up.

Then, Anaïs Tondeur receives a proposition of NASA. There is some free memory in a hard drive, in a spacecraft. NASA likes the idea of this space serving as a capsule for artworks. Sending in the infinitely unknown, fragments of our extravagance. For Anaïs Tondeur the intention is immediate: she will send a dream to space, the handwriting of Camille Flammarion, three pages extracted from the astronomer’s dream book, a symbiotic world. Half bird, half dragonfly humans evolve in the vast forests of Aldebaran’s giant star where they found a common balance, suspended in the infinite.

The astronomer who dreamt to push the boundaries of our perception bound with NASA. His dream matter, left the earth, on board Osiris Rex spacecraft, on September 8th, 2016.”
