Maps of Wilderness

Maps of Wilderness (2026) is a animation film directed by Aline Helmcke, Ana Vallejo, Catalina Giraldo, Franka Sachse, Juliane Franke, Sandra Reyes, Sandra Reyes Sotomayor.

Based on the historical land survey by Carl Friedrich Gauss and Christian Ludwig Gerling, ‘Maps of Wilderness’ explores the limits of measurability. Precise tools encounter weather, distance and that which cannot be fully captured. Analogue animation techniques and a text by Daniela Danz are the starting points for new perspectives by seven female artists.
