Cartography of the middle

Abstract

The text deals with the artistic work Cartography of middle that consists in drawing maps and photographing places whose name contains the word ‘middle’, resulting in images that present themselves as ‘semi-visibles’. The effacement of forms, the faded surroundings and the half-tones collaborates with the semivisibility of the photos – printed in newsprint – producing then a certain similiraty with painting. The fact of making the inventary of the places mentioned above, as well as visiting these places, to go throw and experiment these landscapes and to produce a great number of their photographies, draws a map that is understood as the Medium Map.
