Step into the haunting chronicle of a small explorer in a strange world. As Melbourne endured an unprecedented lockdown, Australian photographer Andrew Rovenko captured his daughter, Mia, dressed in a homemade astronaut suit and helmet, navigating their familiar yet alien neighbourhood. This profoundly personal pandemic project quickly grew into a globally recognised photography series and now also a book, in which the story of the little astronaut reveals the surreal beauty found around us, as we still learn to look at the world differently, even years later.

Andrew Rovenko is an Australian photographer with Ukrainian roots. In 2021, he was named Australian Photographer of the Year. Tom Morton-Smith is a British playwright and screenwriter. His award-winning adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s classic animation My Neighbour Totoro broke box office records, becoming the fastest selling show in the Barbican’s history, and opened to critical acclaim. Other plays of his include Oppenheimer, a play that charts the life of J Robert Oppenheimer and the development of the atomic bomb, written for the Royal Shakespeare Company, and Ravens, a Cold War thriller set during the 1972 World Chess Championship.
