4. Brooklyn Constellations

Katarina Jerinic: Brooklyn Constellations, 2007

Brooklyn artist Katarina Jerinic created here a map of the astronomy of Brooklyn using the Yellow Pages. The white dots are stars, the red dots planets, and the dotted lines are street routes that create constellations. Some star and planet names include Star Cits, Star Sporting Goods, Star Deli, Planet Brooklyn Music, Star Self-Service, and Planet Kidz Fulton. Quirky but beautiful, it paints the picture of a calm Brooklyn that can be admired from afar.
