Invisible positioning system

Isolarion by Sophie Tottie

Sophie Tottie, Gropius Head, 2003

“Isolarion deals with disconnected matters, with what is sometimes shocking and hard to describe - facts that exist in a void between loud headlines and what is left unmentioned in the news reports, facts that are protested on banners but can not be couched in words and images. ‘Isolarion’ is the term used for the 15th century maps that describe specific areas in detail, but that do not provide a clarifying overview of how these places are related to each other on the face of earth. Sophie Tottie uses the term as the title for a work in progress, shown for the first time at the Lund Konsthall. The exhibition presents a series of images that appear in isolation, as well as juxtaposed in a drawing reminiscent of a network. Consisting of text and image, the drawing intersects the room vertically and horizontally in accordance with an invisible positioning system.”
