Cartography

They are supposed to determine the location and point the way. Ever since there have been cave drawings, maps have been created and used for this purpose. Over thousands of years, the location and appearance of regions, cities, countries, later also continents and the entire world have since been depicted by maps. Maps condense complex ideas of space, scale, topography and territorial claims. World maps and nautical charts from bygone eras are fascinating testaments to how our world, our knowledge, and our perceptions of the world have changed.

Historical maps of cities such as Ghent, Bruges or Bremen still bear witness to their impressive role of outstanding importance in the Middle Ages. Historical maps are a good way to read and vividly show the changes on the ground.
Maps of Asia and China document how explorers gradually succeeded in shifting borders and expanding our horizons not only spatially. Travelling with your finger across the map can also be a journey into the past.

Cartographic art, which in its early days often knew how to supplement "white spots" with coats of arms, emblems or imaginative representations and ornaments, moves back to the depiction of imagined landscapes via empirical-scientific representation and geographical, true-to-scale documentation with contemporary art.
By means of so-called "mind mapping", major cities such as Paris, New York or London are depicted in a highly reductionist manner. For example, Anne Smith's "Map of London" bundles the sights of the English capital in a comparatively loose arrangement without following a uniform mathematical scale.

Cartography need not be an exact science that accurately reduces a three-dimensional object to two dimensions, true to scale. Maps are interpretations of the world around them, which can always give people information about their own point of view and their experience.
