Photobook "The Afronauts" by Spanish female photographer Cristina de Middel. Born in Alicante, Valencia, Spain, De Midel trained as a war correspondent at an army school and is now based in London. Created a unique world view where journalism and fiction intersect, and quickly attracted attention in the 1st photo book "The Afronauts" published in 2012, "This is what hatred did (2015)" "Sharkification (2016)" He is a photographer who has been enthusiastically presenting his works recently. This is the 2nd edition of "The Afronauts". Under the moon landing war led by the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1960s, the first African astronaut training activity was actually conducted secretly in Africa and Zambia. A fiction story spun with the motif of this plan, which was not finally realized. This book has a unique point of view that is seemingly difficult to connect with "Africa = space", and gives a glimpse of the personal and documentary nature of putting "Africa's dream", which is still abundant in developing countries, on the "space (rocket)". Limited to 1,500 copies. Signed by the photographer.
