Map N68º09´ E14º13´ is a cartographic map made in collaboration between the artist, space, place and time. Through an experimentally embodied process, the artist makes a cartographic map visualizing the close connection between the human body and nature. This work invites you to reflect upon the close connection between humans and nature, asking questions towards sustainability and the co-existence between humans and non-humans.
Place of the event
The map will be made and displayed outdoor at the place of making between 18 August – 22 September 2024 in Henningsvær - on the rocks behind the soccer field. Additional information available through a QR-code.
