and commercialization of space.

I've always been fascinated by space exploration,

宇宙探索一直令我着迷

but at the same time troubled by its multiple implications.

但同时 我又困惑于它的多重意义

Historically, human exploration has led

to an aggressive exploitation of people, land and resources.

This ongoing colonization process

has shaped the unfair world we live in today.

So how can we make sure

When I was appointed artist in residence at the European Space Agency,

在欧洲太空总署做驻地艺术家时

I thought it was a unique opportunity to make a bold statement, to rethink:

我想这是不可多得的好机会 让我大胆地提出想法 以及重新思考

as human beings, what do we really need to take with us on this space journey?

对人类来说 究竟哪些东西 是在太空旅行中必须要带的？

And perhaps even more importantly,

或许更重要的问题是

what should we leave behind?

哪些是我们该抛下的？

We rarely talk about cultural,

谈到宇宙探索时

ethical or even spiritual matters

when discussing space exploration,

伦理道德 甚至精神领域的话题
