Douglas Huebler — San Diego Country
Douglas Huebler

San Diego Country

1968

"San Diego Country" is a conceptual work by Douglas Huebler that exemplifies his practice of using maps, photographs, and written documentation to explore the relationship between language, geography, and perception. Rather than creating a traditional visual representation, Huebler used text and cartographic elements to define and document a specific region, reflecting his broader interest in how systems of information and measurement shape our understanding of place. The work is characteristic of Huebler's engagement with institutional critique and the dematerialization of art that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s.
