Second In What I Plan To Be A Series Ofmap Videos. This Is A Tectonic Map Of The Earth Produced For The

Second in what I plan to be a series of “map videos.” This is a tectonic map of the earth produced for the German school system in the 70′s. I see a strong correlation between maps and songs ... both take the infinite chaos of the world and shape it into something comfortingly comprehensible. Thousands of kilometres of rugged coastline represented with a simple line; an extended period of intense emotion reflected in a few minutes of organised sound. A map or a song can only ever be a shadow of the complex beauty that inspired their creation, but under the right circumstances they can shape a new reality with its own intrinsic beauty. A beauty that speaks authentically about the nature of human experience while being happily one step removed from the sometimes remorseless brutality of its crude state.

I recently had the great pleasure of drawing this poster for the You are here - Refugees Nürnberg project. It’s a brilliant project, aiming to make all the great music, art, film, theatre and events happening in Nürnberg more accessible to refugees through a multilingual website and Facebook page. I’m mega happy to be able to support such a great project with this poster campaign!
