The Petersburg map has been designed and constructed as an all-of-a piece visual-poetical object, in which all words and landmarks, and topography and history are tightly interconnected. The babble of speech resonating with the city as a whole makes its start in the suburbs, then the trail of quotes becomes ever more dense closer to the centre … While, right in the centre, they squeeze themselves precisely into the tight confines of a city block, a square, or even a building. A perfect fit.
In my work on the maps – My Moscow and Petersburg I enjoyed the assistance of a wonderful designer – Heather Hermit
