Emotional Map is a sensory map. This experience was based on the research for magnetic points using hand-held copper rods. While walking along the banks of the Rhône river in the outskirts of Geneva, each pair of students listed a series of points in places with high magnetic energy. These different routes, symbolized by tracings, were our starting point for composing the map.
The map privileges the lived experience, the sensorial walk rather than the geographical aspect. We therefore created a sensory map, composed of our feelings, sensations and emotions experienced during these days of exploration of the territory. The creation of the map itself follows the same process, created as a performance where instinct, gesture and feelings are at the centre of the action.
