Pasted Topographies
The joining of individual images or the mounting of papers to form larger sheets can be understood as material responses to the challenges of representing topographies. The combination of topographic images in composite media – albums, travelogues, atlases or picture series coupled with maps – enables complex representations as well as contextualised perceptions of space. This volume brings together case studies in which techniques of gluing and pasting prove essential for the rendering of space in visual media.
