Alcatela’s Facebook page.
In the age of smartphones and GPS, who still wants to look at a plan, a map on paper? What if it’s a work of art?
Alexis Carlier, alias Alcatela on his Facebook page, draws maps of his favorite cities starting from the subway and tram route, and in December, he took care of the Strasbourg case. His cards in A3 format are very colorful, even flashy, and they are full of details. Of course, such a Strasbourg map was unprecedented. As with each of his plans, he asked his community to give him good addresses, since he rarely comes to Strasbourg.
Artist Alcatela was surprised by the responses, including the number of bars and the best kebabs in town. He also sweated on the number of canals to draw. All in pink and purple, you can see and buy this map of Strasbourg, like his other creations, via his Alcatela Facebook page or directly on Etsy.
