Terra Firma III

2017

In this installation, the binocular viewer was stationed across the building from the art gallery. One used the viewer to look through the transparent map (marked with places I have lived, exhibited, worked, or traveled) to the aligned panel. The panel bore a story by Jorge Borges describing a map made to the full scale of the kingdom; it was overlaid with shoes and glasses bearing maps, and hemispheres of soil from places I have lived.
