On July 11, 2021, Virgin Galactic’s VSS Unity spaceship tooks off with six crew members on board. In a short space of time they rose over fifty miles high, being able to observe planet earth. In the cockpit and for about three minutes without gravity, the billionaire tycoon Richard Branson celebrated the beginning of space tourism. In the meantime a citrus harvest takes place in the eastern mountain range of Colombia. There you can see the image of an orange among dry leaves under the shade. It has fallen to the ground and the Penicillium Italicum fungus has colonized it. The video presents an audiovisual journey in sync with the VSS Unity spaceship.

El 11 de Julio de 2021 despegó el avión espacial VSS Unity de Virgin Galactic, con seis tripulantes abordo. En un lapso corto se elevaron arriba de cincuenta millas de altura, pudiendo observar al planeta tierra. En la cabina y por cerca de tres minutos sin gravedad, el magnate Richard Branson celebra la proeza del vuelo que inaugura el turismo espacial. Al mismo tiempo una cosecha de cítricos tiene lugar en una montaña de la cordillera oriental de Colombia. Allí se observa la imagen de una naranja entre hojas secas bajo la sombra. Ha caído a la tierra y el hongo Penicillium Italicum la ha colonizado. El video plantea un viaje audiovisual en sincronía con el VSS Unity.
