Atlas of Emotion by Giuliana Bruno

A Verso reprint, 2018.

Bruno in conversation with Marquard Smith, Visual Culture Studies, 2008; pp. 144-165.

[A] form of mapping becomes, in a way, the model for the kind of psychogeography that rethinks spaces in relation to fluid assemblages, and to psychic montage. In this cartography, for instance, you can connect places in a city or on a cultural map not by way of real distances but by way of events that have been experienced in the imagination and in the reality of the people who have lived through them in the space.
