MAP Office is the multidisciplinary platform devised by Laurent Gutierrez and Valérie Portefaix, based in Hong Kong since 1996. Their general project constitutes a critique of spatio-temporal anomalies by documenting how territory is appropriated and subverted, tracking the shifting ground of spatial politics in greater China and beyond. Humor, games, and fiction are core elements of their approach, which spans film, design, installation, and text. Gutierrez and Portefaix currently teach at Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
