As one of the highlights of The Stellar Odyssey, this year’s celebration of the relationship between astronomical phenomena and watchmaking, Jaeger-LeCoultre presents a new art installation Passengers: Through Time specially commissioned from the French visual artist, Guillaume Marmin.
Dear moon,
I do exist even though it's
cloudy for
we see now selfishly, as through a mirror of water vapor.
But hang
in there, I will write you another letter.
Dear moon,
Not on a ship either because
the activities
will keep me busy, all the new ships
have them,
neither on a getaway blimp
because of
the many sights to see down below.
Dear moon,
Do you remember how I told you
one time I would never worship you
on an airplane?
Well lately I find myself
finished with the bulk of my paperwork.
When these bilingual flight attendants
cease their snoring, do you wait for me?
Hang in there, I will write you another letter.
