I measure the city with my steps.

 

Other Maps is a conceptual painting series and part of Felice Hapetzeder’s long-term artistic investigation of the city as rhythm, identity, and bearer of memory. The series includes watercolor paintings, text works, and video, exploring the visual logic of urban planning through abstraction.

 

Each painting is based on the layout of a specific urban district: the star-shaped blocks radiating from the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the dense grid surrounding Times Square in New York, Istanbul’s Taksim 360 redevelopment that replaced much of Tarlabaşı’s original architecture, and the newly completed quarters of Hagastaden in Stockholm.
