“Drink wine and look at the Moon and think of all the civilizations the Moon has seen passing by…” —Omar Khayyam, eleventh-century mathematician and poet

Ala Ebtekar’s Thirty-six Views of the Moon (Winter Edition) is composed of 59 individual book pages the artist collected that reference the Moon or the night sky. He then treated the surface of each with chemicals and left them under the night sky, creating characteristically blue and white cyanotype photographs using moonlight. The work invites viewers to envision the Moon looking back at us: How do we appear in its billion-year gaze?
