'The migrant’s journey is a long one, night after night, inching toward the horizon like constellations. Not just typical stars, they are high-velocity stars, ejected at hyper speed by black holes, sprinkled across the cosmos by the force of their propulsion. And these scattered stars, in their crossing, are like the migrants that I met in Italy who had come from Nigeria, The Gambia, and Ivory Coast, across Europe, seeking El Dorado.' 'In the choral testimony of the voices I collected, the celestial constellation is one of young Africans from different countries, of different genders and with different traits, a testament to the individuality and diversity that they each embody. Some young migrants aimed to reach Libya from southern countries, often finding a dead end in prison. Others aimed at Europe’s El Dorado; many found it, despite sacrifices, its promise intact. Others met a dreadful reality - the dream they had long harbored, treasured on those endless nights of travel, shattered.'

Extract from an interview with PH museum by Lucia De Stefani.

* The individual captions contain modified messages that migrants left on the newsfeed of a social media group where they tried to help each other through their space journey. They are intertwined with dialogues between astronauts recorded during the space moon landing mission in 1969 and scientific information about the fastest fugitive stars.

Almost everything we know about distant reaches of Universe has come to us via traditional cosmological messengers.
- Stand by. - I thought somebody was looking at it. It could have been one of the other flashes of light.
- We copied the time. - I have the place marked. - Pass it on to the back room. - I've marked it on the map.
- What's beyond the space?
Some claim that there is another type of cosmological messengers - the fastest known stars that are trapped orbiting the supermassive black holes.
- Prevail. Prevail! Transparency and life. - I hear a world that is looking for a lot of people.
- When you got halfway, or even thought it was halfway, we understand you looped around south, right?
- Nothing ordinary is affected by the fingerprint of the islands.
- The birds are up above. - The waves are high.
- The Moon is still ringing from the impact. So they may be able to strip it out at another time, but right now they don't see anything at the time you called.
- I don't know if a thousand roads exist.
- They're here under the surface.
- What's there? - We saw some visitors. They were here for a while. - ... - ... - Repeat your last information!
When two galaxies collide, the supermassive black holes at their centres interact in a way that flings away orbiting stars out of the merged galaxy at super high speeds, some of them travelling fast enough to escape their galaxy entirely. If there was a mechanism of tracing them, we ought to be able to see unbound stars travelling across the Universe.
- God is great, thank God, and there's no God but God.
