Bonus is a ghost that integrates the
exhibition’s narrative intermittently and
alternately with the other pieces. It is a
hyper-real moment that accompanies, in real
time, the International Space Station’s (ISS)
progress as it orbits the Earth at a speed

of roughly 27.000 km/h, every 90 minutes,
completing 16 laps per day. Evangelista has
appropriated the continuous live-stream,
broadcasting it live and on a larger scale, every
45 minutes. This transmission is accompanied
by a soundtrack that results from an expanded
abstraction of a version of the Beatles’ song
Because, which imparts a melancholic
character to the experience — not only from
an environmental perspective in relation to the
planet Earth, but also in the face of ruptured
political and social relationships today. The
ISS has been a symbol of union since the 90s
— the result of a joined effort from several
nations (now divided) towards a shared curiosity.
