Présentation

On March 12, 1908, the first public flight of a heavier-than-air machine in the Western Hemisphere occurred. The craft took off from the frozen surface of Keuka Lake, USA, and remained aloft for 20 seconds, before it went down on one wing and crashed. From this momentous event, Jennifer Niederhauser created a utopian tale that cracks a window open onto the ideas of hope and collective solidarity. With the use of archives both written and visual, in building useless tools, she catches our attention and questions us; "do you really believe they put a man on the moon?"
