Peter Dykhius
Art Exhibit
Features 8 wall-mounted maps of the world, each produced by a G-7 nation
and overlaid with a painted image of the publishing country's national
flag. Through the manipulation of projection systems and framing devices,
each country has imaged itself toward the centre of the world on their
version of the global map. This show reveals how nations tend to centre
themselves on the world maps they produce; by identifying this condition,
the exhibition also illustrates graphically the biases inherent in a
nation's "world view".
