Booklet of the exhibition: hk_triennale_booklet_final

„The visual world of PHOTON Y offers a sometimes wry, sometimes wild scientific exploration of time- and mind-warping wormholes and unimaginably vast stellar black holes. We are taken on an unpredictable expedition through the gaping funnels of singularity, on the lookout for the hazards of naked singularity, grasping for cosmic censorship hypotheses lodged in dangerous terrain hidden behind the event horizon, shaped by gravitational redshift where extreme gravity makes the “photon spheres” of light particles perform their last photon orbit.“
Excerpt of the text by Matthew Partridge (2022)
