“The schizocartographies highlighted here operate against the grain, counter to the well-trodden urban path, while at the same time recognizing the dominant structure for what it is, what it does and what it represents.”

“Schizocartography aims to create visual maps of place by revealing not only what is visually present or seen in a space, but the social history, alternative representations, and hidden or absent impressions.”

“In this way, schizocartography offers a more multidirectional approach to topological mapping that includes a subject whilst at the same time still allowing for an a-centring of the self.”
