Add to basketHardback, 285x210mm, 176p, throughout colour illustrations, Dutch (NL) edition . ISBN 9789085866923. Het aardoppervlak is 510 miljoen vierkante kilometer. Al eeuwen proberen mensen overal ter wereld die grote aarde bevattelijk te maken op een kleiner formaat: in wereldkaarten. Wereldkaarten, van vroeger tot nu, laten zien wat wi…j weten over de wereld. Wereldkaarten zijn spiegels van een tijdsgeest. In de christelijke middeleeuwen was Jeruzalem het middelpunt van de wereldkaarten. De onbekende werelddelen werden bevolkt met monsters en fabelachtige figuren. Later verlegden ontdekkingsreizen de horizon. Oosterse en westerse kennis ontmoetten elkaar. Globes zagen het licht. Dankzij de satellietkaarten van Google lijken we vandaag de hele wereld te kennen. Maar is dat wel zo? 'De wereld gespiegeld' vertelt de geschiedenis van het westerse wereldbeeld aan de hand van unieke kaarten en globes. De wereld werd elke eeuw verder ingekleurd, maar werd ook elke eeuw anders voorgesteld. Enkele hedendaagse kunstenaars voegen hun spiegeling van de wereld toe aan dit verhaal. 0 g.

Add to basketHardback, 285x210mm, 176p, throughout colour illustrations, English edition. ISBN 9789085866930. The surface of the earth covers 510 million square kilometres. For centuries, people across the world have tried to render this great planet intelligible by reproducing it on a smaller scale: in the form of world maps. World maps, fr…om the past to the present day, reveal what we know about the world. World maps mirror the spirit of the times. In medieval Christendom, Jerusalem was placed at the centre of world maps. Unexplored parts of the world were populated with monsters and mythical beings. Subsequent voyages of discovery extended our horizons. Eastern and Western knowledge joined forces. Globes saw the light of day. Nowadays, thanks to Google's satellite maps, we would appear to have full knowledge of the whole world. But is that really the case? 'The World in a Mirror' relates the history of the Western conception of the world based on unique maps and globes. The world was coloured in a little more with each passing century, however, it was depicted differently in each century as well. Several contemporary artists have added to this story their own mirrors on the world. 0 g.
