THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Levi is recorded at 67.800° N, 24.811° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 531 metres. A modern resort map compresses terrain, exposure and access into a diagram. This exhibition keeps the underlying contour visible so the place does not become only a list of facilities.
