Pilgrimage book project

About 2 weeks ago we had a drawing seminar, and i was lucky to be in the group that had to ponder the world of maps and territorial movements.

I started thinking about travel, about the Camino del Santiago de Compostela, and how any life resembles a pilgrimage, moving from place to place in search of many things. I decided to make a travel-guide for a pilgrimage visiting all houses i have lived in. It's an interesting thought to me, that people have lived in the house i live in and that they have moved on to other places, like a string of beads. My home can be connected to any place, and it isn't often this is made visible.

When the drawings are finished, i will print the book in four color offset and send a copy to each of the addresses. Some houses have been demolished but the street name and number still exist so i'll send it there.
