Atlantis
2013/2009 | Series of objects (unique pieces; atlas, tar, gold).
«A crater eats its way through a thick world atlas. On each opened page, a different outline of a missing continent presents itself.
Atlantis, the sunken mythological island, is carved as a negative shape into all cartographies of real climes. The mythological manifests itself in the scientific survey of the planet in its absent state, and becomes precisely apparent in absence.» (Sibylle Ryser)
