A science-fiction fan visits the hometown of his mother in 1976, accompanied by his wife and new baby. At the same time, the NASA Viking lander is sending the first images back to Earth from the surface of another planet. Using the father’s travel journal as a guide, and re-contextualizing archival footage and photographs, this installation explores our yearning to bridge the gap: the gap between parents and children, between points in space and between the present and the past.
