Steps – Leaps – Footprint, 2016

The well-known documentary photo from 1969 shows the footprint that Buzz Aldrin, the American astronaut, left on the dusty surface of Moon. Launching of space missions could be understood as a maximum of air mobility that in turn leaves its own footprint, and pushes the atmospheric changes of the planet. The peculiar photograph from White Sands depicts the diametrically opposite: an individual being lifted by cosmic forces.
