The Constellation Automobilus

Installation Information

Over the years, Willem created a series of two-paneled diptychs that depict constellations in the night sky. He is fascinated by our need to create some kind of order out of the immense sky above us by giving recognizable form by connecting stars into shapes we are familiar with. While many of the constellations were named by the Greeks, he decided to make up his own constellation for The Constellation Automobilus.
