Homo Sapiens is a film about the finiteness and fragility of human existence and the end of the industrial age. What will remain of our lives after we're gone' Empty spaces, ruins, cities increasingly overgrown with vegetation, crumbling asphalt: the areas we currently inhabit, though humanity has disappeared. Now abandoned and decaying, gradually reclaimed by nature after being taken from it so long ago. HOMO SAPIENS is an ode to humanity as seen from a possible future scenario.

What Homo Sapiens offers in its succession of carefully framed shots is sometimes too tantalizing to resist
—Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, AV Club
An eerily serene whistle-stop tour of abandoned built environments
—Benjamin Mercer, Brooklyn Magazine
Instead of uncovering artifacts from long ago, Homo Sapiens shows us our own relics in the making
