‘COSMOS’ explores our changing relationship with the stars. Through illustrations, instruments, and astrophotography, the publication strikes up an intriguing dialogue between scientific objects from the 18th and 19th centuries and contemporary artworks. In doing so, it demonstrates how imagination – both in art and science – drives our cosmological awareness and helps us to grasp the vast and infinite story of the universe. Appearing in conjunction with a fascinating exhibition of juxtapositions at Teylers Museum in Haarlem, ‘COSMOS’ offers a wealth of images, essays, and installation views, sparking curiosity about the subject and deepening our contemplation of its themes.
