Thesis: Stone is for ever
You are anywhere
You are anywhere is a research into the (visual) language of navigation. For the last couple of months I have recorded my own movement while I frequently undertook aimless walks, followed arrows in my daily surroundings, pointed fingers, swiped left and right, took detours, and listened to people on the street. Next to my own immediate experience I have been researching and distorting existing systems of navigation such as maps and tour guides. The different parts accumulated in the form of a compendium. By constantly updating and rearranging, the pages start to interact and new meanings are formed. For each edition I rearranged the pages in a different order. Like an aimless walk, it has no definite beginning or end, you can start anywhere.
