expedition

what it means

An expedition is a journey where the journey itself is the job. In the clip, a man drags a loaded sledge through a blizzard, beard frozen, two small figures tied to the rope behind him — nobody goes to the shops like that. The Latin expedire means to free the feet, to make ready, and the same root sits inside expedite. An expedition is organised, it has a purpose, and it goes somewhere hard: an expedition to the pole, a research expedition, and only as a joke, a shopping expedition. It is not a trip — distance alone is not enough. It needs difficulty and intent.

Una expedition es un viaje en el que el viaje mismo es el trabajo. En el clip, un hombre arrastra un trineo cargado bajo una tormenta de nieve, con la barba helada y dos figuras pequeñas atadas a la cuerda detrás. Del latín expedire, liberar los pies, prepararse. Es organizada, tiene un propósito y va a un lugar difícil: no es un paseo.

Uma expedition é uma viagem em que a própria viagem é o trabalho. No clipe, um homem arrasta um trenó carregado numa tempestade de neve, barba congelada, com duas figuras pequenas amarradas na corda atrás. Do latim expedire, libertar os pés, aprontar-se. É organizada, tem propósito e vai a um lugar difícil: não é um passeio.

Une expedition est un voyage où le voyage lui-même est le travail. Dans le clip, un homme traîne un traîneau chargé dans une tempête de neige, barbe gelée, deux petites figures attachées à la corde derrière lui. Du latin expedire, libérer les pieds, se préparer. C'est organisé, ça a un but, et ça va quelque part de difficile : ce n'est pas une sortie.

Expedition adalah perjalanan yang perjalanannya sendirilah pekerjaannya. Di klip, seorang lelaki menyeret kereta luncur bermuatan menembus badai salju, janggut membeku, dua figur kecil terikat pada tali di belakangnya. Dari Latin expedire, membebaskan kaki, bersiap. Terorganisir, bertujuan, dan menuju tempat yang sulit: bukan jalan-jalan.

Expedition, yolculuğun kendisinin iş olduğu bir yolculuktur. Klipte bir adam kar fırtınasında yüklü bir kızağı çekiyor; sakalı donmuş, arkasındaki ipe iki küçük figür bağlı. Latince expedire (ayağı serbest bırakmak, hazırlanmak) kelimesinden. Organizedir, amacı vardır ve zor bir yere gider: gezinti değildir.
