NASA // PAST AND PRESENT DREAMS OF THE FUTURE NASA: Past and Present Dreams of the Future is a project by British artist Benedict Redgrove. With unprecedented access to NASA’s spacecraft, labs, and facilities Redgrove has created a body of work that looks at the power of those objects and the effect they have on us emotionally and spiritually.Redgrove spent five years negotiating and building trust with NASA followed by four years of photography and production. He gained access to some of NASA’s most restricted areas and facilities allowing him to photograph objects rarely seen by the outside world. He went inside the Lunar Samples Lab to photograph the priceless moon rocks collected on the Apollo missions, from the mission control room he watched the sunset behind the International Space Station and entered the assembly rooms where the next generation of spacecraft are being built.The result is a collection of epic, finely-detailed images allowing the objects to tell their own story.
