The work catalogues the old Arabic names of the stars and the shapes of the constellations, starting to map diffe- rent layers connected with the same groups of stars in the sky. The research and the work is part of a larger ongoing project to rediscover, star by star, the night sky in mediter- ranean cultures throughout history and to design an atlas that collects images and stories, fragments and hints of a different way of reading and approaching the sky, geogra- phy and the idea of encounter.
