After spending over a month traveling around chott el djerid in tunisia, new york-based visual artist and filmmaker rä di martino has captured a series of photographs of the abandoned star wars film sets.
Titled 'no more stars,' the images of her collection showcase the ruins of luke skywalker’s home on the fictional desert planet Tatooine. Constructed out of mud, cement-covered MDF and coiled aluminum, the particular hot and dry climate has helped keep many parts of the sets intact, or buried under the sand. After years of deterioration, the remains seem to appear like ancient ruins and archeological sites.

This exhibit features large glowing black & white LCD images, from the archives of the CLUI, of a selection of uranium disposal cells in the southwest. In addition, interactive touchscreen map displays have more images and information about these unique structures.
More than 30 of these disposal cells have been constructed over the last 25 years, primarily to contain radioactive contamination from decommissioned uranium mills and processing sites. They are time capsules, of sorts, designed to take their toxic contents, undisturbed, as far into the future as possible.
