This paradox is the leitmotiv of A handful of dust, a photographic research project by Florian Schwarz. Over a period of four years, he traveled to observatories in the most remote places in the world. He insightfully links the distant view into the expanse of space with close-up views of the people who live in the surroundings of these institutes.
