This Time the Drawing Has Not Succeeded. I Tried to Show Fountains in the Centre begins with children’s drawings of towns and cities, then drifts somewhere stranger: into projection, memory, misreading, and the unstable fiction of place. Working from drawings made by students aged 10 to 14 at Vilnius Justinas Vienožinskis Art School, Darren Barrett, Marija Repšytė, and Martijn in ’t Veld write around the images rather than simply explain them, asking what a city becomes once it passes through imagination. The result is less a document of urban representation than a book about psychic geography—how a place is invented, desired, and privately rehearsed long before it is ever mapped.
