About the book
For six weeks, the artist made a round trip between a radiotherapy center and her home. She recorded all routes using a mobile phone camera and a GPS system, thus creating a habit with a reassuring and controllable protocol. During such a treatment, the body is meticulously mapped, just as the territory crossed by the artist, which became a metaphor for the treatment.
The comings and goings are also related in a book edited by art&fiction Editions, Lausanne.
