THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Morzine is recorded at 46.180° N, 6.709° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 2,460 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.
