what does it mean, “the world seen from geneva and its international organizations.” as in prioritised by graphic size? i remember when i was a kid i had this funny postcard that redrew the map of the world as seen from the point of view of Texans, and, guess you can imagine, everything else was tiny and derogatory… i have been having amazing conversations with a new neighbour friend lately (you will meet him in January!), everything from gender to ethics of translation to, yes oh yes, of course, china vs. the world issues. everyone’s identity crisis, sigh…
but back to your images, thank you for sharing–curious to hear about how they came about in your workshop, but they look very good, anyhow…
