Star Collector is a light installation and experience created by Cocolab that tells the fantastic story of a fisherman and a device from outer space. This story shows us that every single thing inhabiting this planet—all the plants, animals, rocks, humans, and seas—is connected and has the same origins. That, at the end of the day, we are all stardust.

The experience begins in Tulum’s rainforest with a walk lined with flickering lights that slowly reveal the nature concealed by the darkness. The pathway is set with a spacilized audio that augments the murmurs of the night and produces the vibrant sound of what seems out-of-this-world electricity floating in the air.

The path leads us to the beach where a tall wooden tower holds a luminous sphere that appears to contain a great amount of energy stemming from somewhere in the universe and is then distributed across the earth through the long roots that have sprung up from the sphere.

This installation was presented in the context of the Festival de Cine de Tulum, inside the Papaya Playa Project facilities and became a permanent installation that anyone in Tulum can visit.
