UNSEEN MAPS
One-to-One Residency
Unseen Map is a long-term artistic research exploring how humans meet, pass through one another’s lives, and leave traces beyond borders, identities, and productivity.
It unfolds slowly through individual encounters, temporary stays, and a living constellation of relations.
The project does not aim to represent the world, but to practice another way of being in it
ING
Crossing is a situation of shared time and presence between two people.
It may take place in a studio, a home, a landscape, or wherever life allows it to happen.
Its duration, form, and outcome remain open.
Crossing is not a program, a residency, or an exchange.
It is a temporary agreement to be present, to listen, and to allow something to shift.
Some crossings remain private.
Some leave traces.
CROSS
Pass-by
A trace of passage
Pass-by refers to what remains after a crossing.
This may take the form of a mark, a note, an object, a gesture, a memory, or a document.
Not all passages leave visible traces, and not all traces are shared.
Pass-by is not documentation.
It is residue.
THE MAP
A living constellation
The Map is not fixed and not fully visible.
It grows through crossings and pass-bys, forming a constellation of people, places, and moments connected through trust rather than geography.
Some points remain unnamed.
Some connections stay invisible.
The Map is alive.
