Wanderers

(vimeo link)

An ode to the spirit of exploration, Wanderers is a short film by Swedish artist Erik Wernquist with narration by Carl Sagan. You might recognize some of the places in this short film, although you’ve never been there.

The title WANDERERS refer partly to the original meaning of the word "planet". In ancient greek, the planets visible in the sky were collectively called "aster planetes" which means "wandering star". It also refers to ourselves; for hundreds of thousands of years - the wanderers of the Earth. In time I hope we take that leap off the ground and permanently become wanderers of the sky. Wanderers among the wanderers.
