How do you photograph space and our lengthy history with it? What does its past and present look like? And how do you encounter it on Earth? These are some of the questions that Matthew Broadhead deals with in his graduation project, Heimr. In 1965 and 1967, NASA and the US Geological Survey organised field trips to Iceland for American astronauts to experience what were perceived to be the most moon-like locations on Earth before they travelled into space.
When Alnis Stakle first took up photography, he was faced with a rigid conception of the medium. In Latvia in the 1990s it was largely considered a commercial craft, he says, with any more artistic ambitions restricted to banal nudes and sunsets. But for Stakle photography is “a kind of religion”, which has the power to change our relationship to the world.
