The Afronauts






         One of the best photographic books I have seen to date is The Afronauts, by +Cristina De Middel . Using staged photographs and fake documents, Middel recreates her interpretation of the failed attempt at launching the first African space program in the country of Zambia in 1964.  This body of work is currently being shown at The Copper House Gallery in Dublin, Ireland.
