LOST NAVIGATION
Jes Fomsgaard’s interest in
diagrammatical imagery, has been realized with the use of various map-making
and graphical terms. In the "explosion drawings" building structures
are mapped out or charted - and anatomical urban spaces, dissected. LOST
NAVIGATION is the non-functional cartographic map. Unlike GPS, displaying the
simplest possible routes from A to B, these are imaginary - or virtual maps.
Map-making is also the discovery of the unknown or the description of the
unexplored. It is to make the undiscovered accessible and offer new individual
traversable routes. To "get lost" or lose orientation, can be fatal -
but can also lead to a fresh aesthetic territory, where new imaginary worlds
can be traced or mapped out. There is a fascination with the fatal, the
prospect of the loss of control - Lost Navigation. |
