cartography for a biography. act 2: split

Developed during the three-week artistic residency at PROSTOR, in January 2026, in Split, artist’s book cartography for a biography. act 2: split brings together text, photography, and hand-drawn maps derived from daily walks through the city. The work assembles traces of movement, observation, and listening, connecting places with thoughts, memories, and passing encounters.

Printed on translucent paper, the book layers writing, images, and cartographic drawings, allowing compositions to overlap and merge. The textual component originates from exhaustive daily notes later subjected to systematic erasure, leaving only perceptual residues of lived experience — at once singular and ordinary.

The drawn maps register the act of walking as a form of dérive and as a resistance to the automation and acceleration of contemporary movement. The Polaroid photographs emerge from pauses and encounters along these paths, revealing fragments of an unfolding urban drift.
