The D-Word

What is your personal definition of the word "dimension" ?

Honestly, it's one of my favorite words, even if I don't use it that often. Surely, that comes from my lifelong passion for science-fiction and its various connection to the D-word. It could mean anything, in so many different ways. You could get reminded immediately on issues about space travel and wormholes. And especially if you're a true Trekkie like me, you think on Kirk, Spock, Data and Co., who were dealing with all these complex problems, involving "dimensions" in a very scientific sense.
Speaking of the realms, deep in space, I'm trying to imagine what my self-written plot of a Sci-fi movie would be like. What kind of story would I like to tell ? Is it just about traveling into space or through spaces ? Diving into some completely different kind of spaces, spaces which have an influence on the travelers themselves ? Is it about the journey into space or the connection between the places and subjects and travelers ?
As you can see, even thinking about the D-word seems to be some kind of exploration that makes the whole thing so fascinating and obviously endless. Or are there any boundaries ? Because our minds get easily caught in one big loop as well ?

Well, when abstract theoretical journeys start to go in circles, you need one or two fixed points. Real facts that are definite. Or a picture. And there we are.
Looking at a stunning, unique picture can lead to many more questions, or, it can end all discussions at once. In a silent, but effective way.

This time I want to introduce you a photographer and artist who gives the D-word a real, visual meaning. At least in my opinion. I always liked the phrase "where no man has gone before.." Yeah, of course only a trekkie can say that. But i mean it in a different, more subtle way. David DiMichele uses modeling and photography to illustrate the D-word in a very unique, impressive way.
Maybe you don't think that much about space travel and astrophysics when you look at these amazing pictures. But I do. I see new realms and dimensions within or outside our known universe, where impossible things seem possible and ordinary order implodes. Just like that. I love it.
