"Michikha Is Not Afraid of Airplanes" is a visual essay about a journey - even one that is impossible, didn't take place, or was undertaken vicariously. The project examines the extent to which the early 20th century story of Evenk guide Michikha and Polish anthropologist Maria Antonina Czaplicka is a universal tale about power couples in describing the world.
