| Dominic Hislop and Miklos Erhardt met and worked with around 30 migrants (from
Bangladesh, Bosnia, China, Congo, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Kenya, Kurdistan,
Moldova, Morocco, Nigeria, Romania, Senegal, Sierre Leone, Somalia,
Tunisia, Yugoslavia) who had recently arrived in Turin.
Through a series of dialogues, we asked each participant to sketch
a 'mental map', illustrating how they perceive and experience the
city, then gave each a camera to illustrate their maps with photographs. |

An installation
of maps, photographs and texts was made (see pictures above).
