FIMO-Graphic

In order to orient oneself in an unknown place, one uses maps. With great intuition, cartographic and thus abstract characters are by means of this kind of orientation translated into the realm of physical experience.
I am interested in the differences, and as the case may be, the possible shifting influences on both readings of a spatial situation. With FIMO-Grafik I examine the relationship between map and landscape and thus as a consequence the constant translation work between plane and space. I transfer my movement from an area on the map and thus on the plane. Reciprocally I transfer one of these graphic related markings back into space. I illustrate this with a plaster model of this area on which I overlay the graphic in order to portray it in its dimensionality.
