Worlds (1991)

Worlds

2 inflated globes (celestial and terrestrial, inside out with small, central lightbulbs)

163 x 76 x 69cm

One inflatable geographical globe is inverted and lit by a small lightbulb at its centre, allowing the continents on the inside to shine through.  Next to it, the celestial globe of the stars is already an inversion, which we view from inside.
