Michael Najjar @OHB SE, Germany

BANK is very happy to announce that our artist Michael Najjar has created an 80 qm² mural of his highly acclaimed artwork "lunar explorers" for OHB SE in Bremen, one of Europe’s leading space technology companies.

The artwork “lunar explorers” is a homage to the first moon landing 50 years ago and to the twelve moonwalkers, the most important explorers of the last century. Equipped with Hasselblad cameras, the Apollo astronauts took thousands of photographs; these images are the source material on which this artwork is based. The artwork shows the twelve astronauts walking and working together on the lunar surface, conducting experiments, collecting rock samples, driving around with the lunar rover and taking pictures. For centuries, fascination with the moon has created an ideal realm in which our imaginations and phantasies about the expansion of human presence in outer space may freely roam.
