Video review: Cartography magazine

A new magazine published from Milan in English and Italian, Cartography presents a whimsical and very personal approach to travel. Led by beautiful photography that runs the gamut from documentary to abstract still life, it looks beyond the landscapes it visits to probe the religion, mythology and history of places.

“They are maps of places that really exist. But they are also maps of dreams because they represent dreamt-about places, places not thought to exist, to be the stuff of legend, but which are found by following and verifying a myth or a story.”
