Dark Matter

Version one: biodegradable body bag in 100% cashmere, a blanket with rotation curve of a typical spiral galaxy graphic sewn.



Version two: reusable acrylic bag with rotation curve of a typical spiral galaxy, graphic in vinyl adhesive. 

Materials: version one 100% cashmere, version two acrylic dimensions: 211 x 112 cm. 


“Rotation curve of a typical spiral galaxy: predicted (A) and observed (B) Dark matter can explain the velocity curve having a 'flat' appearance out to a large radius.” (Vera Rubin)


“dark matter cannot be seen by astronomers with telescopes. It doesn't emit or reflect enough light to detect, so it's not bright, like a star. Atoms, molecules and subatomic particles are dark matter. You and I are dark matter. Everything on earth is dark matter. Planets, brown dwarf stars and black holes are dark matter. Basically, dark matter cannot be seen - scientists can only estimate where it is based on gravitational effects on what they can see.” (Craig Freudenrich, Ph.D.)
