THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Voss is recorded at 60.632° N, 6.413° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 860 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.
