Almost a Map: Coimbra

This is the first of several project that explore ideas of subjective mapping and psychogeography. The map documents a walk I took around the Coimbra in May, 2015. The route was determined using chance operations and the activity involved making observation and taking notes about small details of the experience. I also collected found objects and made some drawings. 

The finished map was printed offset in a single colour and constituted a contribution to the exhibition ‘Ocupação Tropicana’ curated by Luciana Zaffalon and Gabriela Caetano, copies were given to visitors to the exhibition so that the map would be freely distributed.

I presented a paper that expands on this theme at CONFIA 2021 and through other projects including Dice Map and Quase uma Mapa: Quadrilatero Cultural.
