Do you want to know what it is about and where this map came from?

(Ágathe, narration by the artist): I was born in the North Atlantic, not so far from the port of Saint Malo from where, in the past, the clippers set sail for Valparaíso. Girl, I dreamed of Cape Horn and the storms of the Pacific. I don't know when I first learned about Valparaíso. Perhaps it was in a sailor's song or in a novel... Valparaíso is like the fifty howlers, Moby Dick or the song of the whales. It is not known if it is real or fictional. Nor to which country does it belong, if it belongs to any country. I learned that Valparaíso was bigger, like Chiloé or Cape Horn were in Chile. So I wanted to know that country so far away, on the edge of the Pacific, the largest ocean in the world.

But when I arrived in Chile I was disappointed, to be honest. I arrived in a land without sea. A strip of land floating in a void, just as it appears on almost all maps.

I looked for how to embark. And I was lucky enough to sail in Valparaíso, in Chiloé and in the deep South. I found whales, sea lions, hidden submarines, Yagan and Chilote legends, smells of roasted coffee and wood cooking that mixed with the salt of the wind.

When I got back to land, I wanted to draw another map of Chile. Upside down map. Where the earth would be white, empty and the sea a deep place, full of stories and characters. I wanted to draw the map of the sea that made me dream, with my childhood readings, the giant kelp forests or the 8000 meter depth of the Atacama Trench.

I wanted to draw the imaginary that this immense and so unknown world awakens for me.

At first I drew on top of a nautical chart. Looking north. Following the marine codes. But one day, I turned the map around, revealing another silhouette of our country. A country drawn by the wind and waves. As if we were on the edge of the earth looking towards the immensity, towards the west.

I turned the map so that whoever looks at it feels a bit lost, feet on the edge of the earth, facing an unknown world, a magical and poetic territory, with its own language and codes, a world that remains to be explored and which we need maps, symbols, compasses and myths...
