Map and the Territory

Having made his name with an exhibition of photographs of Michelin roadmaps - beautiful works that won praise from every corner of the art. World - Jed Martin is now emerging from a ten-year hiatus. And he has had some good news.

It is that, for his new exhibition, he has secured the involvement of none other than novelist Michel Houellebecq.
