In times of crisis, there is an increasing demand for strong leadership. A call for guides who can lead us out of the misery. In this latest issue VOLUME explores ‘the guide’ as both a figure and a product that can blaze a path to the future. From strange maps, bike tours and magnetic navigation belts to the conception of Paris’ 13th arrondissement as a series of islands; other cities visited in this survey include: Amsterdam, Istanbul, Lampedusa, Melbourne, New York, Paris and Sydney. The Guide also contains the Atlas of Love and Hate by the Detroit Unreal Estate Agency,.
As a supplement to this issue of VOLUME, we also present the separate publication Beyroutes, a guidebook that presents an exploded view of a Beirut, a city which lives so many double lives and figures in so many truths, myths and historical falsifications.
