Inspired by Francis

Inspired by Francis Godwin’s ‘The Man in the Moone’, 1638, German artist Agnes Meyer-Brandis raised eleven ‘moon geese’ from birth, giving them astronauts’ names, imprinting them on herself, and training them to fly in a remote Moon analogue habitat. With ‘The Moon Goose Colony (MGC)’, 2011, the artist carried out a potential interplanetary journey with the accuracy of scientific research, leaving viewers with a sense of wonder and the fascination for outer space.
