Fifty years ago, on April 12th 1961, Yuri Gag ari n became the first man in space. His orbit of the Earth made him a celebrity worldwide. Direction–Space! is a fascinating study of Star City and Baikonur. Incorporating unique archive materials, it explores the reality of the space community at first hand, investigating the physical and psychological space as well the routine and lives of its residents. It offers a new insight into a subject central to the Cold War history of the Soviet Union, and raises questions over attitudes and perceptions that have been formed over past decades. Maria Gruzdeva is a young Russian photographer.
