Visitor Info

Collision uses images from NASA’s database, including different nebulae, images of cities at night taken from the International Space Station, The Milky Way, as well as found textures in concrete. The images all went through digital processes to obscure them, allowing for cohesion across the many subjects.

I always find building the image to be the most fun part. Getting to puzzle together how Paris’s city lights fit along a cloud of space matter feels like I am building my own universe, star chart or guide to the universe. What were once tools for navigation get rearranged, stripping them all of that specific purpose, and become something guided by intuition. Within the chaos of patterns I find order.

Anita Rogalsky

Anita Rogalsky is an artist living and creating on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples in “Vancouver”, BC. Her work revolves around space objects and city lights, looking up at the stars and back down towards earth. Enamoured by the universe, their work aims to connect the universe to earthly parallels through comparison, processes, and distorting familiarity. She has a BFA in Visual Arts at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, with a focus in print media.
