The Desert Turned to Glass is a place where the cosmic and chthonic
collide. Commemorating the centenary of the planetarium as an
architectural type, this book collects a new body of work by
acclaimed Canadian artist Charles Stankievech. Thematically, the
project explores alternative theories concerning the origin of
life, consciousness, and art—bridging the cosmological visions of
cave art and the modern technology of the planetarium. Richly
illustrated, the book pairs images of Stankievech’s installations
and cinematic works with newly commissioned writings by geologists,
exobiologists, philosophers and archeologists. Spanning the abyss
of space and the depths of the earth, The Desert Turned to Glass is
an epic meditation on origins, endings, and infinity.
