B612

The story of the Little Prince details his epic migration from his home on the tiny asteroid B612 to several celestial bodies where he encounters various archetypal characters. These archetypes still resonate as contemporary parables that speak to issues of politics, economics, land use and ownership, and interpersonal relationships on a global scale. Using this novelette as our springboard, we propose our own epic journey that includes the construction of an ever-amassing asteroid form. The eventual goal is to attempt to levitate this form with the power of our collective minds essentially, by taking a mental leap of faith, we will alleviate the burden of the asteroids own accumulated weight: a literal suspension of disbelief.
