To the Space with Fotografiska: Thomas Vanz

As autumn approached, Fotografiska Tallinn turned its gaze to the stars with the major exhibition SPACE – A Visual Journey . In this episode, you will meet one of the featured artists, Thomas Vanz

French artist and filmmaker Thomas Vanz creates immersive visual experiences that merge art and science, capturing the sublime beauty of the cosmos. Born in 1991, Vanz has developed a distinctive style that explores the intersection of astronomy, philosophy, and the human experience. His work Verse is a striking example of his approach, where he utilizes liquid dynamics, colored inks, and high-speed cinematography to simulate the birth and death of stars in breathtaking detail.

SPACE – A Visual Journey , group exhibition, September 13 – January 18

The exhibition SPACE – A Visual Journey explores the celestial frontier where artistic expression and scientific inquiry meet, and captures the grandeur of the cosmos through the eyes of astronomers and the interpretive visions of artists alike. Through works by 14 different artists, we encounter questions about Earth, space, and our identities – who we are in the face of eternity, and who has the right to dream about the future?

The podcast is hosted by Fotografiska guide Elo Aun.

The podcast is recorded in November 2025.
