July 16, 1969. Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins and Buzz Aldrin. 9 Minutes and 23 Seconds Time in Flight. Apollo 11. after 1969

This image, made by Michael Margolis, captures a moment in time: July 16, 1969, just nine minutes and twenty-three seconds after Apollo 11 took flight. It's a simple black and white photograph, but it’s the composition that gets me. There's this tiny TV set, reflecting on a shiny surface, showing the grainy images of the astronauts. And around it, the mundane reality of a kitchen – pots, pans, a window. The reflection is so crisp and almost dreamy, like it's trying to be slick or something, mirroring our own fascination with the sublime. It's a study in contrasts: the extraordinary event juxtaposed with the everyday. It reminds me a little of Sherrie Levine’s work, that engagement with appropriation and reproduction, but here, it’s less about critique and more about memorializing a shared experience, filtered through the domestic. It's about how we make meaning, one reflection at a time.
