Ferox, the Forgotten Archives

Nicolas Polli

2016

The International Exploration for the Mars Surroundings (IEMS) is a united program responsible for the civilian space program as well as aeronautics research for the surface of Ferox. Between 1976 and 2010, scientists around Europe worked for IEMS in order to determine the presence of water on Ferox. After their failure, the mission disappeared.

By working with images, data and texts from the IEMS archives I bring back to life what remained hidden for several years, in a project that plays with the fine line separating reality and fiction.
