Nick Ballon's Doppelgängers photo essay, created in conjunction with Nelly Ben Hayoun's new film, explores the ethical questions surrounding lunar colonization. Set in a Spanish cave that mimics Moon-like conditions, Ben Hayoun and her "doppelgängers" critique the commercialization of space, questioning if humanity is doomed to repeat Earth's colonial mistakes. This project, blending art with science, premiered at SXSW 2024 and is backed by the Sundance Institute and BFI Doc Society. It includes interviews with NASA scientists and cultural figures, challenging space exploration to be more inclusive
