THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Myrkdalen is recorded at 60.873° N, 6.449° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 1,150 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.
