Description
Every three months a space rocket carrying three astronauts and cosmonauts to the International
Space Station launches from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. At around the same time, to the northeast
in remote grasslands, three other astronauts fall back to earth. The photographs in Some Worlds Have
Two Suns document these comings and goings of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft and the local community
whose lives are accidentally intertwined with this portal to space.
