The Meteorite Hunter
Royaume Uni
2016jury
Sometimes the perception of something extraordinary or unusual goes beyond our control and becomes an obsession. “The Meteorite Hunter” series focuses on finding the extraordinary in everyday life. Using the meteorite as a metaphor for the fantastic hidden in the humdrum, the series is a quest to find the ethereal and the sublime in the mundane. Alexandra Lethbridge aims to question our assumptions about the world around us and the bonds linking our environment to our imagination.
