Interior Space: Photographs by Roland Miller & Paolo Nespoli is a 2020 virtual exhibit at the Guggenheim Gallery of Chapman University which says: "The photos provide unique insight into the cultural landscape generated by astronauts, scientists and visitors on the International Space Station. At the same time the works constitute a first attempt to co-create photography of this environment by an artist on earth and an astronaut inhabiting this most remarkable milestone in the development of human capabilities for living in space."
