'Dark Sky' comprises over 300 photographs of meteorwrongs, set against a night sky. The photographs were downloaded from meteorite identification forums, where the owners of the rocks hoped to have their finds validated as meteorites by either amateur or professional meteorite hunters. However, the overwhelming majority of these finds turn out to be of terrestrial origin. Like stars in the night sky, these meteorwrongs reflect the hopes and wishes of the individuals who found them.
