Six large ‘landscapes’, a photographic document and a literary text evoke the life of Johan Pföner. He was a renowned astrophysicist in the 1960s who has since been forgotten. He contributed to the analysis of black holes in formation. But undoubtedly suffering from a mental disorder, he put forward some ‘crazy’ theories (though never really disproved), particularly about gravitation.
