I translated the carpet landscape depicted in the painting “The Geographer” by Jan Vermeer into a three-dimensional model and defined it as a carpet landscape. In collaboration with the office of cartography of Berlin’s Technical University I then developed a topographical map of the carpet landscape using some 5 million measurement points.

The resulting map refers to a place that has not yet been discovered, a place where no one has yet set foot.
