How to create a world of your own? Push the limits of your imagination?

The Wonder Way is an exploration in search of extraordinary territories, terrestrial or celestial paradises, intriguing and uncharted. A journey out of time, seeking encounters with those who imagine other worlds within this world.

From Randlett King Lawrence’s phantasmagoria to Charles Ross’s astral sculpture Star Axis, through Jugnet+Clairet’s enigmatic maps, Noah Purifoy’s Desert Museum, Jean Wisniewski’s Garden of Eden or Didier Queloz’s first exoplanet, The Wonder Way takes us to the most striking universes and draws a new cartography of the world in a great breath of freedom and magic.
