Sun Ra and Aye Aton Space Interiors and Exteriors 1972

Description

“This once-lost trove of photographs date from 1972, a pivotal year for
the musician, composer and mystic Sun Ra. Half of the photos in this
book are of interior, space-themed murals made by Ra-colleague and
musician Ayé Aton – spectacularly weird and beautiful in their 1970s
supersaturated color. From the same period, a cache of never-published
photographs taken on location in Oakland for the film Space is the Place,
features Ra in full regalia, wearing outrageous and beautiful Egyptian
costumes. A rare glimpse behind the scenes of the architect of
Afrofuturism.”
