In 'All the matter in the universe is from the heart of a dying star', Kate Beckingham explores what it is to look at and investigate space through the medium of photography.

Through both real world and digital manipulations, Beckingham challenges the status of the photographic image as truth by creating a level of uneasiness in her viewers. Highlighting the relationship viewers have with photographic images, Beckingham corrupts the experience of the represented space. This interest in the photographic is evident in her continual exploration of light and reflections. Ultimately, Beckingham’s images don’t represent any real space: they show either the artist’s trace in the image (a trace that no longer exists) or a space that never really existed at all.
