Possession through destruction, such seems to be the metaphorical and political direction towards which the title of this series of maps, drawn with candle smoke, directs our attention, the points where cartography could converge and some form of vandalism or ‘iconoclasm: create an image through an operation that recalls the act of setting books or paintings on fire. The size of a world map also varies depending on the different countries where the project has been exhibited. Incandescence is an important image in Mircea Cantor’s artistic arsenal - or rather a non-image, refusing to form by consuming what burns and dissolves in countless flames in search of oxygen. The artist often compares it to the force and the mechanism of the dissemination of new ideas, which set the world on fire while announcing new and multiple modes of relationship with it.
