“Water, Selected,” created by the artist Roni Horn in 2007, is a figurative artwork associated with the Cartographic Art movement. This piece is housed in the Tate Modern, London, UK. The artwork presents a detailed cartographic representation of Iceland, highlighting various geographical features such as towns, glaciers, and rivers. The map is meticulously labeled, providing both Icelandic and English names for locations and depicting the rugged terrain and water sources across the island. Noteworthy places are marked in orange, bringing a focal contrast to the otherwise monochromatic map. “Water, Selected” showcases the intertwining of natural landscape and human geography, embodying the conceptual aspects of Cartographic Art.
