Through the darkness, the knowledge that passes gains peculiar hues over time. The rover, scanning both ground and stars, is troubled by the history it was fed, while people, isolated in the aeroplane, try to interpret its increasingly complex messages.

When Andromeda and Milky Way Embrace is a fictional video piece by Appu Jasu. In it, the characters attempt to uncover what has transpired while simultaneously striving to perceive the barely comprehensible as possible. The work features untouched snowdrifts, stars, speech, cinefilm, and imagined scenarios. Stark yet meticulously crafted images and sounds reveal a reality where certain trajectories have reached their endpoints, and amidst the ruins, knowledge searches for new anchors.
