What's on the Other Side?, 1997/2000/... courtesy: Galerija Gregor Podnar, Ljubljana / Berlin The aim of the project is to get a "sample from the opposite point" of a given location. This antipode is, by definition, located precisely on the opposite side of the globe at the other end of an imaginary straight line that passes directly through the exact center of the earth. |

“..Tunneling straight through the middle of the earth and coming up on the other side of the world is a familiar childhood fantasy. Somehow, we always emerge in some wonderful country whose customs and language we do not know. ..In reality, more than four-fifths of the world is ocean and so the chances of one piece of land having a corresponding piece of land on the other side of the globe from itself are actually quite slim. The most likely scenario is that you will emerge at the bottom of an ocean somewhere…” Jeffrey Kastner & Sina Najafi (Cabinet issue 8) |
