What would astronauts do if they finally landed on Mars? Artists Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick have created an art project called 'Adrift on The Hourglass Sea' that portrays their unique view on the exploration of Mars.
Their work features two female astronauts navigating their way around the planet with unusual equipment while encountering strange alien structures. The project is expected to go on until 2011; it will eventually feature a painting and some sculptures to complement the photographs.
