Ecologies of the Sole

Like a Michael Cina painting...

Ecologies of the Sole from This Is Microgeography

"Ecologies of the Sole: These unconventional and unique maps trace microgeographical journeys. They do not report distances, or reflect the visible layout of our cities or towns, but emerge from the accumulated microflora that we unintentionally gather on our travels. In these examples, walkers were given a pair of sterile shoes, and after their own personal journeys, the microflora that had accumulated on the sole of these shoes developed by imprinting them on bacteriological growth media."
