The Blind Quest (2017-ongoing)

An infinite number of ways back, but only one that will get you there: this is the first installment of an going series of maps, videos, and essays about the limits of human wayfinding capabilities set through the back door of some of the world’s bourgeoning metropolises. For each city, I blindfold myself within 24 hours upon arrival. Then I am driven to a point at the edge of the city selected by a third party. From here, the task is to find my way back on foot without the that I must find my way back without using a map or a phone or ask for assistance—in fact, the city should be located in a country where the Latin alphabet is not primarily used or where signage infrastructure is deficient. The whole point of the project is the journey itself and to explore a place on its own terms.
