1974, FinlandMap as a representation
Maps are everyday objects with countless different ways of use. They are also a concept with which we organize the world around us. In my thesis I concentrate on reflecting the very being of maps and the idea behind them.
On a map surface image and word comes together with the experience of spatiality. In what ways maps themselves effect on our observations of the world around us? I outline various aspects that a map mediates as a result of its structure, the forming of that structure and also cultural and communicational aspects that are contributing factors in this process.
On my exploration to the world of maps I make my way through the history and techniques of cartography toward the personal cartographies inside them. This way I study them also as a form of illustration – and art.
