An imaginary lookout point from which we can guess at the beginning and end of the horizon. A point equidistant to all known seas. A space as remote as it is anodyne. A landscape where perhaps, but only perhaps, nothing ever happens… Reaching an Inaccessible Pole is no easy job; you have to get help from both poetic cartography and state-of-the-art orienteering technology. But if we do manage to find it… what should we do there? How do you explore an inexplicable place? Guided by the book Exercises in Observation by the anthropologist Nicolas Nova, we will enter what George Perec called the ‘infra-ordinary’ and harness a skill that has virtually been lost: paying attention to what is around us. Through a series of exercises, we will slow down, sharpen all our senses and organise our findings in order to ultimately cross a fleeting border: the border of places that don’t exist.
