Mars on Earth in Circulation(s) | Matjaž Tančič

The story "Mars on Earth" is being exhibited at the Circulation(s) festival at the @104, 5 Rue Curial in Paris and in the Paris Metro from March 25 to May 21.

For the past three years, Matjaž Tančič has been meeting with actors in the field of space research and following its progress around the world, from China to the United States, from Japan to India, and throughout South Africa and Europe. Among these individuals are well-known national agencies and influential billionaires, such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. However, this project focuses on other actors in the journey to Mars and beyond - those who are lesser-known but no less committed. These idiosyncratic visionaries often lack funding but work in the shadow areas of the law, developing new technologies. They include architects, doctors, farmers, and space engineers, as well as builders of homemade space rockets. Additionally, there are multi-billionaire start-ups creating autonomous space habitats.
