Commissioned especially for this exhibition Tell All The Truth But Tell It Slant, the Land of the (un)known (un)knowns playfully represents an imaginary territory where a multitude of elements connected to truth and knowledge find their place.
This map extends the cartographic metaphor beyond visual analogy, and exposes it as a narrative model and tool to intervene in complex, heterogeneous, dynamic realities, just like those of human geography.
From myths to sciences, from history to technology, this map intertwines domains and anecdotes, symbols and metaphors, placing them in a relational construct that highlights the correlations and connections between immense and aspects parts of our societies, cultures and practices.
