Here, Fodor’s past experiences as a refugee come into play.
“On the surface of the earth, there is now a vibrant spirit of the age, like in a beehive before bees swarm out. More and more people will deal with the universe; more and more people will wish to or have to give up their settled way of life at their birthplaces (migration). But what I mean is not the familiar cosmopolitism, or the lifestyle of “global players”. PLANETS rather describe the glance of a stranger who has been on a long odyssey through universe, and returns and sees the earth again, and is amazed by its beauty. But he cannot undo the long trip, and cannot become an inhabitant of the earth any more. He is and remains in orbit. Like an emigrant ‘who loses all homelands after leaving his homeland’ (Vilem Flusser), but in exchange arrives to a special state of freedom”.
