“The art world is too parochial, too focused on the earth. I intend to be the first artist to exhibit on Mars. My work currently consists of my plans, designs and blueprints for space rockets, Mars houses and associated necessaries. Living on Mars will be a huge step forward for mankind, and my work will be at the forefront of the push to live on other planets. This will be a struggle, it will make Fitzcarraldo’s endeavours look like a stroll round Hyde Park, but I will be there, the first coloniser of Mars.”
Saki is currently designing the flag for his colony on Mars, and finalising the design of the space rocket which should launch from the top of Mount Snowdon in late 2025. Collectors who would like copies of his designs (signing an agreement not to use them to build their own space rocket) are welcome to purchase – proceeds will help finance the first Earth2Mars Rocket and colony.
Anyone interested in going to Mars with Saki should get in touch. For the test flight to the moon you will need your own space suit and a packed lunch.
