Zeran Star is
the result of actions carried out in November 2010 near the Zerański
Canal (a tributary of the Vistula River) in the post-industrial
landscape of suburban areas of Warsaw, and the subsequent consultations
with astronomer
Dr. Martin Kiraga. Bakowski and his team connected two
abandoned towers, one on each side of the canal, with 250 meters of
steel cable. This created the possibility of climbing 25 meters over
the river in order to produce a point of light in the evening sky by
use of a powerful flashlight. The resulting photography was achieved
with the consultations of the astronomer, who calculated the stellar
coordinates of the artificial star.
