Overview
Auckland Festival of Photography 2012: Talking Culture Sunday
Series
Bitten by the 'Moonbug', photographer Steve Pyke set out on a
journey across America in his search to meet and photograph the
Apollo space pioneers, a journey in which he was to meet the
adventurers, risk takers and dreamers who were behind one of the
most historic endeavors of our time.
From living rooms and moonscape deserts, to Cape Canaveral,
Steve captures these pioneers in frank, revealing portraits, while
unravelling their very personal and divergent memories. With rare
archive footage and an original score by Matt Johnson and 'The
The', Moonbug, a Documentary Edge presentation directed
by Nichola Bruce, is both a photographic road trip and an
exploration of how photographs become a signpost for history.
