// Öyvind Fahlström’s World Map from 1973 is a complex, densely illustrated silkscreen print that offers a unique, interpretative vision of global geography and socio-political commentary. This limited-edition piece intricately combines fragmented, cartoon-like figures, text, and symbolic imagery that represent various global issues, cultures, and historical references. Fahlström’s style, rich in detail and satire, invites the viewer to explore and decode the relationships between different regions, icons, and themes presented on this unconventional “map.” His work challenges traditional cartography by using visual metaphors to address the complexities of political and cultural dynamics worldwide, making each exploration a layered, thought-provoking experience.
