The master map

Atlas

Nicole Junkermann’s atlas draws reading paths, city views, writing and pictures onto a single dark map — a way of seeing how one part leads to the next.

Each place sits on the same map. Follow a route, stop in a city, or turn to the pictures — the bearings hold either way.

01

Reading paths

Books and margins form the first route through the atlas, each one marked for returning to later.

02

City fragments

Places arrive as views, windows and remembered streets rather than itineraries or fixed claims.

03

Visual waypoints

Portraits, desks and maps give the atlas its rhythm and mark the longer pauses between ideas.

One map, many routes

No single order is forced. A reading leads to a city, a city to a written page, a page back to a map — and the atlas keeps track of the turns.
