Julian Rosefeldt
Still from "Lonely Planet"
2006
Film
The film “Lonely Planet” (2006) modifies the circular narrative structure which plays with the construction and deconstruction of cinematic myths, by having a backpacker (played by Rosefeldt himself) emerge from the desert, then cross a river by boat to reach a town on the other side, where he finds himself in a crowded cinema and experiences his arrival in town as a film. However, the cinema itself turns out to be a film set from which the backpacker finally manages to escape and disappears again into the depths of the desert.
