Synopsis

Through the eyes of cosmic cartographers, MappaMundi takes its viewer on an accelerated voyage through 950 million years of Earth development, 150.000 years of human migration and 15.000 years of human cartography. The film visualises the continuous change of our world, a change that is unnoticeable for a human being in a single lifetime. 

MappaMundi is a film about the image of the world that we have been sketching repeatedly anew for thousands of years. With over hundred world maps from the past 15.000 years, the development of our view of the world from its beginnings to this day is analysed and illustrated in its diversity.
