welcome to the Explorers Club

on his way through the streets of New York, Andreas discovered a peculiar and misterious place, the headquarters of The Explorers Club. A society that since its foundation in 1904 is dedicated to the “advancement of field research and the ideal that it is vital to preserve the instinct to explore”.

About

Odyssee 500 is an analysis of travelling as cultural practice, in its specific form an artistic inquiry of travel-related images.Our focus is on emotional connotations of the travel theme in historical traditions, constructed narratives and established myths in relation to scientific approaches, such as survey, definition or allocation of spaces or phenomena and its reference to problems affecting real societies.
