Nascent Sexuality Polaroid Map

2008.May.14. Wednesday - by lvhrd

Igor from Driven By Boredom has created a Google Map of his hometown of Alexandria VA, full of Polaroids and personal prose marking the milestone tingly events of his younger years. Landmarks include The Bush with a Playboy Buried Under It, Sarah’s House, Topless Forest. It’s a touching project (pun intended) and a sterling example (the only example?) of storytelling with maps.

See a few of his Polaroids & statement inside the post.


From Igor’s site:

On a recent drive through the neighborhood I grew up in I realized that most of the strong feelings that I had were a result of a nostalgia directly related to a more innocent feeling of women and my own sexuality that I had when growing up in Alexandria, VA. I wanted to do a photo project on this and take some images of the spots that gave me the most tingles.

View the project. See the Polaroids hi-rez. Check out the map.
