Andrew McConnell's work captures the stark contrast between high-stakes human exploration and the everyday lives of Kazazh nomads, revealing the interconnectedness of both worlds.
McConnell’s fascination grew not just with the landings but also with the local people, who were largely uninterested in the space travelers yet deeply connected to the land.
His book, Some Worlds Have Two Suns, juxtaposes the arrival of astronauts with the life of local Kazazh nomads, highlighting the rich tapestry of human experience.
The photographs in McConnell's book reveal how, initially, the steppe seemed void, but over time, unexpected details of life and community emerged from its vastness.
