From French artist Sabine Réthoré –
My cartography is precise. It’s just my point of view that‘s different. I have orientated my poles from East to West, to follow the sun’s course and to give everyone, once a day, a zenith.
I began setting about tracing the lines, routes, rivers, railroads. I ignored the borders: the only thing that symbolically divides men. I was thus contented with tracing the thousands of lines which link them with the thousands of points or places of exchange: towns, little ones, big ones…
The project has only just begun; we are searching volunteers to transcribe it into all the alphabets used in our region. The map should be printed in even larger quantities.

Les frontières n’ont pas complètement disparues, quelqu’un a renversé de l’eau au milieu…

Your map is beautiful. It’s funny how reorienting a 90 degree turn can be. Also nice to see so many roads, because it reminds me of road trips in parts of the area.
