THE LIVING MAP

The mapped place

Trysil is recorded at 61.315° N, 12.264° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 1,132 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.
