White Map
video Installation, 1:30’ on loop, 2011White MapWhite Map, is a map that is completely blank, apart of a few heavenly coordinates, produced by a typesetter. It goes from full visibility to full blur, turning into an empty space that gives an "unimagined" vision of a world, where boarders, division, and obstacles are swallowed in a white void, and that void loops into the nothingness of light over and over again, invalidating conventions and allows for a view of the world without purpose, a metaphor for all maps by containing the sum of all possible projections.
A map, like all abstractions, is a kind of lie. ~Trickster makes this world, Lewis H
In its original form, this map becomes a framework for an imagery journey for a poem The Hunting of the Snark, (An Agony in 8 Fits, 1928). A nonsensical poem by Lewis Carroll, who is better known for Alice in Wonderland.
He had bought a large map representing the sea,Without the least vestige of land
And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
A map they could all understand.
