Description
Star Voyager: Exploring Space on Screen is a book that celebrates the history and future of space exploration through the moving image. Originally published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name held at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), the book examines the significance of a range of film, footage and video artworks. Through the moving image, humanity has been able to experience space exploration in a way that previously we only dreamed of, and authors analyse how this has impacted upon the imagination and desires of generations. The book delivers thought-provoking articles and commentary, moving poetry and artworks and is complemented by stunning photography, which is guaranteed to inspire. This is a book for those who dare to dream of distant stars.
