Houston: Der fotografische Blick in den Weltraum – Ein Traum wird wahr

Dieser Bildband umfasst Arbeiten des Foto-Künstlers Thomas Kellner, der 2009 nach Houston, USA reiste und den Astronauten Leland Melvin bei seiner Mission zur Raumstation ISS begleitete. Dort fotografierte er das Geschehen im Mission Control Center und war hautnah dabei als das Space Shuttle Atlantis Richtung Weltraum abhob. Die beeindruckenden und ungesehenen Bilder sind nun in seinem neuen Buch zu entdecken.
„Vor drei Jahren bot ich der NASA ein einzigartiges Fotoprojekt an. Bis dahin kannte man mich als deutschen Fotografen, der regelmäßig eingeladen wurde, um im Rahmen von FotoFest Houston auszustellen und seine Erfahrung bei den herauskommenden Profis einzubringen. (…) Ich werde den Tag mit Laura im Johnson Space Center nie vergessen – ich erinnere mich an ihn als voller Leben und Spaß. Meine schiere Begeisterung, Verwunderung und Neugierde waren schrankenlos. Sprichwörtlich war ich das kleine Kind im Schokoladenladen. Mission Control war meine Süßigkeit und ich wurde damit verwöhnt, so viel ich wollte. Es dauerte nicht lange, bis ich das berühmte "rote Telefon" in der Apollo-Zentrale entdeckte. Tatsächlich nahm ich den Hörer ab und habe vorgespielt, den Präsidenten anzurufen. (…) NASA ist ein großer Produzent von Fotos, die wir seit unserer Kindheit kennen - die Raketen, das Space Shuttle, die Weltraumstation, das Weltall, Aufnahmen von der Erde und Ähnliches. Ich will den Aufnahmen, die NASA unserer Welt zur Verfügung stellt, meinen künstlerischen Ausdruck verleihen“ (Thomas Kellner, 2013: Visionen von Mission Control. In: Houston, we’ve had a problem!)

“Indem Thomas Kellner den Betrachter ins Mission Control einlädt, wird das Menschliche am Weltraum wieder hergestellt, so wie unsere gemeinsame Leistung und unser Bedürfnis es uns erlauben, unsere Welt auf jenseits des von uns bewohnten Planeten zu erweitern. Die Energie und Spannung dieses Unternehmens ist spürbar. Thomas Kellner verbrachte mehr als zehn Jahre damit, sein Weltraumprojekt zu verwirklichen und diese Sehnsucht spürt man in seinen Werken. Es ist die uralte menschliche Sehnsucht, das große Unbekannte festzuhalten. (…) Kellners und Melvins Anwesenheit zieht den Betrachter ins Bild hinein und ermuntert uns, einen Platz im Mission Control zu finden. Während dies eine ungewöhnlich offenkundige Einbeziehung der menschlichen Komponente ist, ist sie nicht die bedeutendste, denn Kellner bezieht sie durch die Zwischenräume in den Weltraum ein. Es sind die Räume zwischen den zerstückelten Rahmen des Fotowerks, die wir, aktiviert und engagiert durch unsere Vorstellungskraft, zusammenhalten müssen. Es sind die Zwischenräume zwischen uns und den Menschen und Maschinen, die wir ins Weltall entsenden. Es sind die Zwischenräume auf einem Kontaktbogen, schwarz wie das Nichts einer kosmischen Antimaterie, dem Ursprung aller Materie, und der menschlichen Kreativität. In Kellners Fotowerken werden die Räume des Universums wieder geöffnet. Sie erinnern uns dabei an die Freiheit und die Chancen des Weltalls.“
(Allison Pappas, 2013: Der Weltraum dazwischen. In: Houston, we’ve had a problem!)

Gorgeous 😍
Size: 2' x 6' (Natural), Color: Champagne, Size: 2' x 6' (Natural), Color: Champagne
Absolutely beautiful!!! It is thick and luxurious, super soft and cozy. It’s really high quality and it shows. You can tell it’s natural without the burn test even from its cute little curls. All brushed (your pet brush is perfect 😉) out it looks stunning and fluffy. I got the champagne color and I love it! I don’t see any seams on the double pelt and it is substantial, not at all like it will disintegrate in a few years, but rather will become a much loved family heirloom. Well worth the investment! It is absolutely heavenly to perform yoga on by the fire 😌I love taking my slippers off and feeling the soft fur. I don’t want to get off it lol. I understand all those other customer’s kids and cats 🤣😂🤣

This is the one you want...

I bought a ‘Genuine Sheepskin Rug Double Pelt Natural White Fur 2x6’ from Amazon in 2011 for $112.49, and recently decided to recommission it in my new living room. It looked so nice that I decided to add a second rug, and was pleased to find what Amazon claimed to be the same rug still available for only $83.78. Now I’m not one of those silly folks who expects the color and/or size of a natural product like a sheepskin rug to be perfectly predictable, and my living room is large enough that I didn’t need the two rugs to match perfectly, but when the new rug arrived, I couldn’t have been more disappointed. It was about 40% smaller than my older rug, was way, way off from anything that could be called white, and looked cheap, old, and tattered. I tried to comb it out a bit to see if I could make it look presentable, but it was a lost cause. Amazon to the rescue. I returned the rug to Amazon for a full refund the next morning, and the transaction couldn’t have been simpler. And I immediately ordered the ‘Genuine Sheepskin Rug Double Pelt Natural White Fur 2x6’ shown on this page from Super Area Rugs for $119.00. What a difference! These rugs are large, plush, and super soft. The quality of these rugs is obvious, much, much nicer that either my old sheepskin rug or the ‘bargain’ rug I returned to Amazon. I was so impressed with the quality of this rug that I immediately ordered a second, which arrived this morning (it matches the other rug perfectly). My older sheepskin has been reassigned to another room because, well, it’s not in the same league as my two new rugs, which look terrific together. As is so often the case, you get what you pay for. So if you’re looking for a top quality sheepskin rug, this is the one you want.

Very nice fleeces
This is a clean, soft, well groomed fleece intended for use on a 6 foot long sofa, so bought 2. They moved too much as a result of shifting bodies on the leather couch, so will get a longer version, sewn bottom to bottom, and used each of these fleeces on both armrests, instead.

Excellent Product!!! Will purchase again!
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
Instead of ordering a cover for reclining loveseats, I chose to drape one of these over the headrest on either end of our loveseat. Not only do they protect the leather, they also help to elevate our decor. The rugs were received in a very timely manner. They are super soft, & warming as we move into the winter months. We've had family & friends comment on how great they look. 2 of them have already ordered, & added them to their sofa/loveseat/recliner decor. Have an issue of them slipping, add some velcro in between the crook of the cushion & the back of the furniture piece. It doesn't show & will help to keep the rug in place; if your busy body.!

Perfect for sensory sensitive kids and for the pure beauty of it

After speaking over the phone with the seller, I was confident in this purchase for my SPD son. They do not use harsh chemicals or dyes in the process. It is from New Zealand and the only use in Vietnam is for shipping. My son hasn't been diagnosed yet for Autism but he is in the process. He is super sensitive to all things sensory and Amazon feedback isn't the place to give specific details on his condition but I will write that when he fist touched it- which was willingly- he smiled and asked to sleep on it. When he laid down on it and I covered him- he was calm and smiling. In the pic I provided he is calm and holding his door (his obsession is doors and windows). He even set his door down to hold the fur. For other mommies and papas with spd/autistic kids you know that willingly touching a new fabric and setting down an obsessive item is huge and super encouraging! I am so grateful to have such a quality item that is affordable for my special needs son. His older sister received one as well as is now pretending to be a sheep. Fun for everyone! The ONLY negative is that the brand/info sticker on the pelt was a pain to get off and pulled some of the felt - not damaging it but blemishing the unity -but if the skin is down it will not be noticeable. A super fun detail is that all of the fur is combed out but there were a few strands that were wavy and had a slight curl- I LOVED that. There was no odor at all which is great! I expected an animal smell which is better than chlorine or dioxin which is what competitors use in their process. There is no noticeable seam in the middle on the top where the two pelts are gathered. I am soooo satisfied!
