The Conquest Of Space
Camera Press Archive
14th August- 13th September 2003
Hovering uneasily on the borders between fact and fiction, "The
Conquest of Space" is a humourous yet telling look at our fantasies
of space exploration. The Camera Press Archive has a large collection
of images issued by NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration)
of the USA in the years between the late 1960's and the mid 1970's.
This exhibtion includes photographs of ground staff, extraordinary
machines, artist's drawings and equipment tests as well as more
familiar images of astronauts and the first journey to the moon.
After forty years the images appear more fantastical than they did
in the Cold War era- looking at some of them we are irresistibly
reminded of a B-Movie set.
All of these rarely seen vintage prints are available for purchase, from £200 ex. vat.For
