ALT FLYTER – PANTA REI


“I was eating lunch in a street cafe in the harbour of Genoa, Italy some years ago. My telephone rang. It was Lars. He was sitting in a cafe in Oslo with a hangover.. He said he wanted to make a film with me. So we did.” quote: Jan Wanggaard.

Lars Nilssen’s film follows Jan Wanggaard – during three years, from conception to implementation of the art project Planet Lofoten – an installation of the solar system in Western Lofoten on a scale of 1:200 million.

Short summary “Jan Wanggaard was a World Champion windsurfer in the 1980´s. He left the sport at the peak of his career to study industrial design.
