Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. 2ème Édition, Édition limitée. Ll'un des 1500 exemplaires de la seconde édition de juillet 2016. Broché, couverture photographique, élastique, 237 x 175 mm. Zambie 1964, le professeur d'école plutôt excentrique Edward Makuka Nkoloso a lancé à lui seul un programme spatial. Son objectif était de mettre le premier Africain sur la lune, rejoignant ainsi la course à l'espace entre l'Union soviétique et les États-Unis. En raison d'un manque de financement, tant par le gouvernement zambien que par les Nations Unies, et parce que l'une des astronautes, une adolescente, est tombée enceinte, le programme de courte durée a pris fin prématurément. Elastique rompu.…

Hardcover. Condition: As new. First Edition, First Printing. This Book is True / Magnum, 2025. Hardcover with gatefold covers. First Edition, First Printing. Limited to only 1000 copies issued worldwide. 10 x 9 inches. Filled with color photographic images throughout. The work began in 2013 after three members of the artist's family disappeared. This tragedy began an investigation into the pervasive violence of organised crime in the region, how it infiltrates daily life and transforms the spirit of a place. Martinez later spent time alongside other families with missing loved ones. Through these encounters, dots were connected beyond the artist's immediate family and across borders into Honduras, Brazil, and the US, forming a constellation imbued with the shared experience of endemic violence. Throughout the work, images are threaded together by diaristic notes from the field. They were written by Martinez as he grappled with the range of emotions presented in the aftermath of loss. We don?t see death in Luci?rnaga, but its omnipresence is felt throughout, lingering in the shadows of each photograph. And yet there is always a sense of hope that informs the making of this work. Between 2019 to 2023, Martinez began a series of interventions into his photographs, piercing holes through the prints and then backlighting them. Bright rays emanate through the pictures in free flowing shapes, throwing light against a dark backdrop. In this process the light metamorphosizes with the scenes depicted and conjures an alchemy where something restorative, tentatively optimistic and resilient occurs.

Numerous color and black-and white photos, illustrations and reproductions of 'ephemera'. SIGNED by Cristina de Middel. BOOK CONDITION: New/Fine. SIGNED In 1964, still leaving the dream of their recently gained independence, Zambia started a space program that would put the first african on the moon catching up the USA and the Soviet Union in the space race.Only a few optimists supported the project by Edward Makuka, the school teacher in charge of presenting the ambicious program and getting its necessary funding. But the financial aid never came, as the United Nations declined their support, and one of the astronauts , a 16 year old girl, got pregnant and had to quit.That is how the heroic iniciative turned into an exotic episode of the african history, surrounded by wars, violence, droughts and hunger.As a photojournalist I have always been attracted by the excentric lines of story-telling avoiding the same old subjects told in the same old ways.Now , with my personal projects, I respect the basis of the truth but allow myself to break the rules of veracity trying to push the audience into analyzing the patterns of the stories we consume as real.Afronauts is based on the documentation of an impossible dream that only lives in the pictures.I start from a real fact that took place 50 years ago and rebuild the documents adapting them to my personal imagery.…
