Remapping Tales of Desire: writing across the abyss

An artist book by Karen Atkinson and Andrea Liss to go with the exhibition Remapping Tales of Desire. 1992

This guide book takes the reader on a journey through a history of metaphors within the language of discovery
and travel which continue to be inscribed within colonialistic desire projected onto the description of women’s
bodies. It ends with a proposal to reconfigure our recources to different maps, a place for both men and women to
refuse boundaries and reinscribe desire.
