FAILED ATTEMPT TO BUILD A GALAXY questions the limits of geometry as a tool to investigate and understand the cosmos and therefore on the limit of our  possibilities of knowledge. A failed attempt to build a galaxy in a room has at the same time the audacity of the human spirit and its clear limit. Any effort made to understand the cosmos can’t but underline how small man is if compared to the vastness and complexity of the universe. But is surprising and touching that anyway the tiny man struggles to contain such immensity within the rules of its own mind.
