Original artwork description:

This artwork is a part of the "Topographics" series of drawings made on maps. This piece was made in France during the residence in Château le Sallay. It was shown at my solo exhibition "Voyage" (Château le Sallay, France) and at my solo exhibition "Topografica" (Budva, Montenegro) during the "SLOVONOVO" Forum of Russian Culture in Europe. Some other works from this series can be seen at Paks Gallery (Milan, Italy).
This artwork is made with graphite pencil on a primed tourist map, so it still has folds, but it doesn't disturb. Due to the dark background the map is no longer a map, still the landscape appears on the body, rivers and roads become arteries and veins.

Materials used:

pencil, structure paste
