Armelle Caron - Wayfinding

Armelle Caron is a French artist who works a lot with the idea of mapping, therefore I thought she would be interesting to look into in terms of inspiration for my wayfinding system. The most relevant work depicts a map in which she is cut up and rearranged to a tidier layout according to size. The components are rearranged to make them look almost an identifiable as the original map. The French artist displays the original maps alongside the decontextualized shapes, giving the audience and context of how the map started and how the map finished. This is an interesting idea in which it is presenting the audience with something they already know, although it has been rearranged to create intrigue into looking like something they no longer recognise. This is something interesting and I believe could influence part of my wayfinding system, or my further research.
