- Thornton asks viewers to question how one sees "space," whether literally or figuratively, and what is being revealed? Images of a sonogram session grant viewers access to what is typically reserved for medical analysis - "inner space." This body, probed and revealed through technology, is collaged with imagery from lunar probes, drawing parallels to how technology again allows us to see where we were previously unable - "outer space." A second text, a poem by R.M. Rilke, speaks of the interior quality of thought and is contrasted with the medical voice.
