Map of Moscow's first dates is a documentary art project that exists in two mediums:

as a riso-printed A1 map and an interactive online version.

MAP.NE-PLOHO.COM

The map consists of real stories told by people of different ages and backgrounds.

There are 48 marks, showing where the dates took place from 1950 to 2017, each mark has a corresponding illustration on the back side of the map.

We talked with random people on the streets and on the internet,

we asked our friends and family.
We got very different reactions: some people told us every little detail, while others didn’t remember their first date at all. One person said we should be ashamed to ask such intimate questions and refused to talk. Some people managed to start a relationship with no dates at all, some managed to go on a date without meeting each other in person.

//

9 people didn’t tell their names, 38 people didn’t tell their dates’ name, 13 people don’t remember their first date at all, 6 people never had one, 3 people got too emotional

and refused to talk

It’s a foldable A1 map, riso-printed in red and pink, limited edition of 50.

In Russian and English.
