What it is

An experience integrated within joan.art.

The sky behind is not a sky map nor a technical tool.

It is a way to return to the moment when a work was created.

Through a visual and interactive experience, it allows you to place yourself in the same place, on the same date and under the same sky that accompanied the photograph.

No technical explanations. No prior knowledge required.

Just context.

Why it exists

Why look at the sky behind a work?

A night photograph not only shows a landscape. It also contains a moment that no longer exists.

The position of the stars, the orientation of the sky, the relationship between light and time are part of the work even if they are not always visible.

The sky behind exists to show that other side. Not to explain it, but to make it present.

How to use it

Each work that is part of The Sky Behind includes direct access to its associated sky.

When entering the experience, the visitor can:

• see the sky from the location of the work
• position themselves at the exact date and time
• rotate the view and observe the sky in different directions
• understand the orientation and moment of the photograph

Everything happens directly in the browser. Nothing to install.

No need to know astronomy.

For collectors and interior designers

My works are designed to coexist with a place.

The sky behind is an additional layer: a silent way to return to the moment behind the piece, whenever you want.
