For his latest project, artist and photographer Justin Aversano (of “Twin Flames” fame) set out with a simple compass: love. Just a camera, intuition, and an unspoken promise to document humanity across all seven continents.

The result is “Moments of the Unknown,” a living archive of global intimacy, presented as both an exhibition at Glitch Gallery in Marfa, Texas for Art Blocks Marfa Weekend this month and a documentary screening at the Crowley Theater down the road. 

Decrypt sat down with Aversano for an inside look at his journey, reflections, and creative process. At first, he said, the film was planned to be a much quieter affair.

“It was mostly just gonna be no sound,” he recalls.

But somewhere between continents, the project evolved into an audio-visual experiment, with the hundreds of brief, video portraits stitched together with soundscapes sourced from humanity’s most iconic artifact of love and hope. All of the sounds were pulled from the “Voyager Golden Record,” a phonograph record containing sounds and images of Earth. Carl Sagan was the chair of the NASA committee that assembled the record, which was sent off to space in 1977.
