Introduction

About this topic: Maps, Borders and Cultural geography

In this group of works, the work often marks a boundary, surveys a territory, looks again at questions of politics and culture invested in geography. This includes where national borders between countries are marked, the line of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), the shifting relations of "mapping" territories given historical-political shifts, aerial views of city maps, online photographic mapping projects, GPS tracking, displacement of objects from one site to another and the earth seen as a globe/planet in space.
