On View
Not on viewAnna Bella Geiger emulates the format of the marbled school notebook to challenge lessons about art and geography. In “O Novo Atlas” Geiger uses text to define the different territories, creating word patterns that explore the balance of power between central and peripheral areas in cultural, political, and economic terms.
