A performance made to camera in 'Mother Earth Sister Moon', melding ideas of authorship with a sense of weightlessness and atmospheric tension. The title is inspired by Valentina Tereshkova's proclamation, on her 70th birthday, that she 'would like to fly to Mars, even if it meant that it was a one way trip'.
