The Earth seen from the Moon was a very complex and multi-layered installation in the Cesare Manzo Gallery in Pescara, Italy. The core of the installation is the only remaining piece and is the most meaningful as well. The title of the exhibition was turned around, wondering how we look at the Moon from the Earth. All the identified craters and seas on the Moon refer to Earthly history. The existing moonmap with the exact locations of every given name is drawn on a used UN helmet. The helmet represents humanities unsuccessful efforts to manage the world.
