Jonathan Reeve Price, Sartrouville, 2018, Giclée print, 38" x 22" (96.5 x 56 cm)

I've made the map into a coloring book, so I can splotch and blob and smear the highways and pastures with my own bright colors. You can see me trying to break through the ball bearings in the gigantic wheel, reaching for the original, the out-take, the vectorized enlargement.

The Romans cleared the forest northwest of Paris, to set up a villa near the Seine, and that farm formed the core of the commune of Sartrouville. In 1009, the townsfolk built the Church of Saint Martin, which survives today, surrounded by a small vineyard and an orchard of apple trees. The town is the second most populous city in the district of Yvelines, with about 50,000 people, of whom ten percent are immigrants from outside the European Union.

The town has the most public housing of any commune in the district.

In 1991, the New York Times reported

Violent clashes between the police and young, mainly Arab immigrants. Today they have become symbols of growing French fears of a larger mutiny by the rootless children of North African immigrants whose frustration at their empty and often-jobless lives in bleak outer-city ghettoes is growing day by day.

Hard to see all that from a map, eh?
