Louis De Belle is a Berlin-based photographer who, with the Cartographies project, wanted to explore the daily journey that each of us is doing throughout a day.
Reducing the visual data to a minimum, thus focusing on details that are generally ignored, has been able to tell the life of New Yorkers by small signs.
Sweat stains and dirt conveys become inadvertent storytellers of saturated cities, where lack of space and time and impatient or irritating movements are masters of events and situations.
Small traces on dresses of strangers who can tell the routine by becoming, as De Belle says, maps of daily trips of exhausted commuters.
