Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. On 21 July 1969, at 2.56am UTC, Neil Alden Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon. Fifty years later,MOON takes you on a photographic journey to our nearest celestial body, and back again. The subject of dreams and the imagination, but also the catalyst for a global Space Race: the moon leaves no one untouched. Editors Maarten Dings and Joachim Naudts (FOMU Antwerp) go in search of the story behind this elusive disc in our firmament and reconcile its scientific, political and poetic aspects. MOON reveals the early days of photography and includes images by Draper (1840) and Whipple (1852), together with plates from the unsurpassed lunar atlas by Loewy & Puiseux (1896-1910). This book explores the pivotal year of the Apollo mission in 1969 and the Cold War era, yet also allows contemporary artists to shine their light on the moon. The result is a stimulating flow of images that balances on the fine line between fact and fiction, and between bitter seriousness and sweet dreams. In this richly illustrated publication you will find 19th-century historical photography, archival images from NASA and Life magazine and a wide range of work by, among others, Annemie Augustijns, Fabrizio Boni & Giorgio De Finis, Tom Callemin, Cortis & Sonderegger, Cristina de Middel, Joan Fontcuberta, Vincent Fournier, Leon Gimpel, Harry Gruyaert, Kikuji Kawada, Sjoerd Knibbeler, Michael Light, Agnes Meyer-Brandis, Joel Meyerowitz, Aleksandra Mir, Lisa Oppenheim, Johan OEsterholm, Katie Paterson, Robert Pufleb & Nadine Schlieper, Penelope Umbrico and Garry Winogrand. With essays by Wilco Versteeg and James Attlee. A photographic ode to the rich history of The Moon. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Condition: New. On July 21, 1969, the first man set foot on The Moon. When Neil Armstrong was asked if this made him feel big, he answered: "No, it made me feel really, really small."50 years later, this publication celebrates that special moment that put life on earth into a totally different perspective. It collects pictures of the world's best photographers from the 1840s until today. Next to historical photographs and imagery printed in media, the publication features many artists that each in their own way reflect on this mystical celestial body, we call 'moon'. The book shows the diversity of meanings of The Moon, it's relation to mankind and to nature.The Moon has always both attracted and scared people around the world. It is our everyday connection to the unfathomable universe. Since time immemorial it is revered for its beauty, its stillness and mysterious appearance and yet also feared for its supernatural-seeming qualities. In mythology The Moon has always been given a central place. With its magnetic forces it changes the tides and has a direct and uncontrollable impact on mankind from above.In 1840, barely three years after the invention of photography, J.W. Draper makes the first picture ever made of The Moon and since that day photographers have never stopped following his example. The paradoxical aspects of the moon continue to fascinate and inspire. Like a photograph The Moon depends on sunlight to be visible. It has no light of its own and no apparent strength to resist our nightly city lights either. Photographers feel this close connection to The Moon's characteristics and find the perfect object in its aesthetics.The landing on The Moon was a culmination point of the1960's Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union, which quickly became a symbol of the Cold War. The images of the landing became the bearer of values and symbols of the United States and were widely spread through various media. In 1973 NASA abolished its moon program. The Moon had been conquered and the public seemed to have had lost interest. However, today people still find The Moon fascinating, and humanity continues to dream about setting foot on the sun's shadow.
