London Passport Map

London Passport Map

Year:
Media: Archival print hand gilded with 23 carat shell gold
Dimensions: 61 x 84 cm (H x W x D)

Yanko Tihov’s limited edition print London Passport Map offers a fascinating snapshot of the wonderfully diverse nature of
England’s capital, having been constructed using the passports of the various foreign passport holders residing in
London, as documented in the latest census. The design of the map is determined by the colours and motifs of the
passports, each of which is carefully matched and embedded within the boroughs of London. The passport cover’s texts,
seals and coat of arms have been hand painted by the artist in 23 carat gold, adding a unique layer which beautifully
reflects and enlivens the surface.
