There is an evocative and almost forgotten story: when Zambia gained independence in 1964, it thought of sending the first African astronaut off to the moon. Starting from that idea, the Spanish photographer, who lives and works in London, has created since 2012 “Ten Afronautis”, a volume of portraits with intense colors, suspended between reality and fiction.
