From Pluto to Uranus to Neptune – an artistic journey through the trans-saturnian universe: TRANSSATURNIA invites you to immerse yourself in dynamic visual worlds and blur the boundaries between reality and imagination.

The video trilogy TRANSSATURNIA emerged in 2004 as an alternative to a printed catalogue that was intended to accompany an exhibition of drawings. Focusing on the diversity of artistic expression under the aspect of astrological archetypes, the drawings appeared in the video presentation within various moving environments.

Nine of the original twelve parts have since been discarded, leaving behind the three sequences that refer to the symbolism of the trans-saturnian planets Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune, respectively, as well as the zodiac signs Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces. Accordingly, the drawings appear in different stagings: emotional and tense, cool and complex or lyrical and open.
