In Gravity’s Guest, a figure sits in a wheelchair, completely covered in plaster bandages, conceived in response to GUTS’ curtained room. Both thumbs are raised in a gesture that hovers between reassurance and celebration. A real red gas balloon is tied to the figure, responding to every slight movement of air. Only the mouth is visible and seems to form the trace of a faint, almost accidental smile.

Gravity is a universal matter: it concerns us all.
This could be the end of the story, if these questions did not impose themselves:
What happened? Why is the figure smiling? Are the thumbs raised? What about the red balloon?

But the figure offers no answer.
What remains is the realization that we are probably dealing with the conditio humana, and that even the colonization of Mars will not change that.
