No More Starts

After spending over a month traveling around South-Tunisia, New York-based visual artist and filmmaker Rä di Martino has taken a series of photographs that capture scenes of abandoned Star Wars film sets. Titled ‘No More Stars’, the images of the collection showcase the backdrop of Luke Skywalker’s home on the fictional desert planet Tatooine. Unexpectedly those sets have been left on the locations and after years have now mostly become ruins, almost as some sort strange archeological sites. Because the props were constructed out of mud, cement, MDF and aluminum, the particular hot and dry climate has helped mantain intact many parts of the sets, or buried under the sand just sections of it.
