Co-Mapping＊

Interference, reassembly, and construction —

Summoning collective memory, decoding spatial experience.

Slices, positioning, routes, and symbols,

Spatial memory, cultural signs, and everyday experience weave together a genealogy of maps.

Centering on the human,

With objects and lived experience as tools for writing a new geography,

Resisting the dominant discourses of power and standardized cartography,

Returning to the topological actions between people, events, and things,

Reconstructing a series of montage-like maps —

Maps that are, in their own way, "real."

＊Co-Mapping was initiated in Montpellier, France, in 2016, and has been presented at the Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts, Zone Art, Busan, South Korea, and the National Archives in Linkou, Taiwan, among other venues.
