THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Narvikfjellet is recorded at 68.457° N, 17.375° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 1,006 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.
