A book like a black hole.
Space that is being mined.
Glowing stars.
An anthology of 40 poems by 21 Luxembourgish authors, translated into English and Arabic, all written in the framework of Luxembourg's participation at Expo2020Dubai. They deal with both Luxembourg and Dubai, what links them and what opposes them, in a critical, analytical or ironic way. Many of them poke fun at Luxembourg's space mining ambitions. The photos, by the artist duo Karolina Markiewicz and Pascal Piron, depict parts of the poems written with neon glowing sticks.

The design of the book reflects the topics, irony and elegance of the poems.
A pure choice of layout, materials and printing:
One colour copper metallic print on deep black paper.
The texts are clean and readable, the photos are converted to monochrome and the metallic print on black gives them an even bigger depth and shine.

The rounded edges emphasise the black borders of the pages.
