A work about the Moon is a work about human thought, spirituality, and achievement. Its stories take us across history and manifold cultures, introducing great literature, science, poetry, and music. From the forefront of scientific exploration to the most ancient of archetypal myths, there are as many extraordinary images of fantasy and of a beautifully stark reality as there are craters on its surface. It was the peaceful battleground of the Cold War and will soon be a junction point to Mars. The Moon inspires love poems and lunacy, influences werewolves and the tides. It is a beautiful goddess and a silent lump of rock. Recipient of prayers, poems, and songs since the beginning of human consciousness, so recently touched by us for the first time, our Moon is soon never to be the same – is already altered.
In these works, we are reminded of the Moon’s ubiquity, compelling us to reconstruct our own personal history of the Moon, conjuring, as if for the first time, the power, presence, and emotional gravity the Moon commands.
