ABOUT °BOOKS

THE ° BOOKS IS A SERIES OF
BOOKS OF WHICH REYKJAVIK 64°08N 21°54W
WAS THE FIRST TO BE RELEASED.

PARIS 48°50N 2°23E IS THE SECOND IN THE SERIES WHICH HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED IN PARIS BY OFR.

NEW YORK 40°43N 73°59W;
IS IN THE PLANNING.

THE °BOOKS PROJECT WAS BORN IN EAST BERLIN IN 2003, WHERE AMI HAD BEEN LIVING FOR THREE YEARS.

ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS, PEOPLE HAD HANDED HER A HAND DRAWN MAP OF DIRECTIONS TO A PARTY OR TO THEIR HOUSE RATHER THAN A STREET ADDRESS AS EAST BERLIN WAS STILL BEING REBUILT.

IN EACH CITY AMI ASKS 50 OF ITS INHABITANTS TO HAND-DRAW A MAP TO A PLACE OF THEIR CHOOSING, A PLACE THAT IS SIGNIFICANT OR IMPORTANT TO THEM PERSONALLY, FOR ANY REASON.

SHE THEN USES THE MAPS TO NAVIGATE TO EACH LOCATION AND TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH TO REPRESENT EACH LOCATION.

THE ° BOOKS PORTRAY A SIDE OF EACH CITY AS INTERPRETED BY THOSE WHO LIVE AND WORK IN IT EVERY DAY. ITS NOT A "GUIDE" TO THE NEW CAFÉ OR CLUB, BUT RATHER, A UNIQUE WAY OF DISCOVERING DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CITY.
