BJP Issue 7923: Maps
of 6
What do we really see when we look at a map? In Maps, the latest issue of British
Journal of Photography, we explore how photography both documents and distorts
the world, revealing the slippery boundary between representation and reality.
Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s imaginary 1:1 map, Borges’ allegory of decay, and
Baudrillard’s prophetic vision of the hyperreal, this issue asks: where does the map
end and the territory begin?
