¡Vivan las antípodas!

The shortest route between Entre Rios in Argentina and Shanghai, China is a straight line through the center of the Earth, as the two cities are antipodes, situated diametrically opposite to each other.

What would be the shortest route between two points on opposite sides of the earth? Award-winning documentary filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky sought to answer this question by capturing the beauty and contrasts of four antipodal pairs. His unique project took him to locations such as Entre Rios in Argentina and Shanghai in China, Spain and New Zealand, Chile and Russia, and Botswana and Hawaii. Through his keen sense of the magic of these locations, Kossakovsky created unforgettable images, juxtaposing peaceful sunsets with bustling cities, deserts with volcanoes, and silence with noise.
