Mission to the Moon

A re-enactment of the Apollo 11 mission of 1969. Foamlab not only recycles this icon of technological confidence, but also the materials used to build it. At the exhibition 'Kunstvlaai / Art Pie International', two brave astronauts; Elias Tieleman and Johannes Sterk, can be seen jogging around in preparation for their mission. They exit the Lander accompanied by the original sound recordings from the Moon landing in '69, for general exploration of the lunar-surface, setting-up lunar camera's, collecting stone samples and planting the flag. After comleting the mission they are released from their spacesuits by astronaut-assisitents; Cocky Eek and Theun Karelse. The capsule was made with the generous assistance of Ruben Bus.
