\nWhen ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen was in space for his 10-day \u2018iriss\u2019 mission in September, he took a special portrait of himself created by Portuguese visual artist Vhils.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe work was made to fit exactly in the main window of the Cupola module, the European space observatory on the International Space Station. Printed on perforated plastic, Vhils’ work lets the light and colours of Earth shine through as the Space Station flies overhead at 28 800 km\/h.\n<\/p>\n
\nVhils is a renowned artist known for his larger-than-life portraits that are chipped straight into buildings\u2019 walls. His work has appeared all over the world, and now above it.\n<\/p>\n
\nHis art in space is part of a project directed by Miguel Gon\u00e7alves Mendes called the \u2018The Meaning of Life\u2019 that documents the lives of seven people including Andreas Mogensen.\n<\/p>\n
