Lost Map
A Map About Being Lost
Maps are often used to avoid getting lost...
But what about a map showing the lost?
Category
Must maps be used to make everything clearer?
This is a scene in my head that visualizes my trying to get to coffee at school and then getting lost, during my first week to school.
Map is everywhere here, but all of them would not work when getting lost. Everything feel like distorted, cause I don't know how to relate my physical surroundings to the directions on the map.
Concept...Feeling...and Visualization
How to map in a conceptualized form and how to represent this conceptual distortion (lost)? I retrieved some relevant works by the artist. Xu Bing's work inspired me at this point.
Visual Experiment
I conducted a series of visual experiments to obtain an ideal presentation.
