The Space Tourists
The Space Tourists
Description
Space tourism. It wasn't always like this. Once, Space tourism. It wasn't always like this. Once, it was the realm of governments and corporations, colossal rockets and carefully orchestrated missions. Now, it was almost...casual. Like renting a campervan and hitting the outback, but instead of red dirt and spinifex, there were asteroid fields and shimmering space stations.
Artist Statement
This image explores the evolving idea of space tourism, emphasising the contrast between traditional views of space travel as a grand, state-sponsored endeavour and a future where it is more accessible and commonplace. The worn, rusty appearance of the spacecraft challenges the sleek, futuristic designs typically associated with space travel, suggesting a future where the cosmos is within reach for everyday travellers.
The vignette illustrates the concept of space tourism by likening it to a road trip, where destinations like Kepler-186f take the place of familiar landmarks on Earth. The inclusion of a pet further humanises this vision, grounding it in relatable and familiar experiences. By juxtaposing the extraordinary nature of space travel with the everyday presence of a woman, a man, and their dog, the image encourages viewers to envision a future in which the wonders of space are as accessible as a drive through the countryside.
The image presents a future where humanity's reach extends beyond Earth while maintaining the essence of travel as fundamentally human.
