Journeys to the ends of the world and back. When it was still unknown that the Earth has no end, the idea, the myth, and also the fear of the end of the world emerged in people's minds. The myth survived the realization of the spherical nature of the Earth. Photographer Florian Wagner and author Heike Nikolaus visited places that bear the name "the end of the world." Five journeys to Norway, France, Spain, Sri Lanka, and the USA. Maria-Christine Leitgeb traveled through the history of ideas from the farthest reaches of the known world. There are places on Earth where the thoughts, ideas, and fears of people from past years and centuries are still visible. This is due to buildings or other stone witnesses that serve as reminders, or because the people in these places adhere to a certain way of life.
