Maps, as representational models, never fully describe the territory they represent.

Bonini affirmed that, like Borges map, the most complex map is the most similar to the represented object, but at the same time it is the least unintelligible.

What is more similar to the Province of Buenos Aires: a map that represents its outline or a tracing that faithfully copies a 24 x 19 cm portion of its surface?

For Bateson the problem is that we can easily affirm that a map is not the same as the territory it represents, but we are not able to define what this territory is, since our perception and our experience about it is always partial and mediated. A territory is so vast that we can never apprehend and perceive it in its entirety, we can only do so with its representation.

In this action, two 24 x 19 cm plaster copies of the Province of Buenos Aires are made. One of them making a copy of a portion of grass in their territory, at the coordinates -34.89721507548117, -57.980000793874304. The second, a copy of a map of the province itself.
