The Wonder Way - Other worlds exist, you just have to imagine them
In a time when the world feels mapped, named, and exhausted, this experimental documentary revives the thrill of discovery—not through conquest, but imagination.
This cinematic odyssey ventures into the visionary universes of artists, architects, and scientists who build alternate realities on Earth and in the stars. Featuring Charles Ross’s monumental astral sculpture Star Axis, Randlett King Lawrence’s phantasmagoric visions, Noah Purifoy’s open-air Desert Museum, and Didier Queloz’s discovery of the first exoplanet, the film charts a constellation of minds who live beyond the limits.
Part poetic atlas, part philosophical quest, The Wonder Way redefines exploration as a radical act of creativity.
