Cartografie alternative: mappe realizzate da artisti, scienziati e altre figure per gli scopi più diversi e raggruppate in capitoli: redrawn territories, charting human life, scientia naturalis, invented worlds, the unmappable. Libro elegantissimo per formato, carta e grafica a tema (questa davvero notevole, opera di tale Barnbrook); l'introduzione di Tom mcCarthy e la postfazione del curatore H. Obrist sono brevi testi interessanti e stimolanti.Peccato che il cuore del libro - le mappe - siano
I never know how to rate a book like this. I found this in a used bookstore in Minneapolis and kept it in my backseat for when I had bits of waiting time to sit and focus on a few minutes. Some of the maps went over my head. Others made me think about everyday stuff in new ways. A keeper.
Tom McCarthy's essay is the best thing about this book for me. He continues to astonish with his ability to connect thoughts and ideas.
Extraordinary.
This is a seriously strange book. A brave book. A profound book. A book of maps.And I doubt I understood it at all.But you might. You should give it a try.What for me was elusive might for you be plain. Where I was lost in many of the maps you might find your way. Where I rushed you may linger. Where I yawned you may gasp.All that being said I enjoyed this book and will definitely visit its spaces again.Once I find my way back...
Beautifully illustrated with contributions from various artists, scientists, architects, mathematicians etc mapping areas of interest to them. Thought provoking.
