Different countries in the world at the same longitude experience day and night at the same time. No matter how far they are from each other when they look at the sky at night, they are actually as close as the sky. The moon is an important reminder for people at this point. When people look at the moon, they envision it as a place that allows you to reveal past or future moments or how the moon makes people feel. This system, which we have established for countries with the same longitude by sea, enables the Moon to transform the effects it creates on people into art. Opening its doors to artists, this space turns into an art workshop at night and an exhibition hall during the day. Different thoughts, different feelings, different countries unite in one sky.

Our venue, which opens its doors to artists for 24 hours; In the mornings, it turns into an exhibition hall to showcase the work done during the night.

The outer shell of our space opens and closes according to the phases of the moon. That’s why we divided our outer shell into four layers. According to the phase of the moon, the facades of our outer shell open and close according to the layers. The upper crust of our space, on the other hand, is not completely closed so that we can watch the stars during the phases when there is no moon. It opens and closes angularly according to the current state of the sky. The structure in the middle of our space changes shape according to the phases of the moon. Our place works with a remote control system. It is right in the middle of the sea from sunset to sunrise, and it approaches the shore to receive art lovers in the morning.

Our aim is to transform the traces left or created by the moonlight into art and space.
