Eames Demetrios

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2014

My name is Eames Demetrios, and I am the Geographer-at-Large for Kcymaerxthaere, a global work of multi-dimensional storytelling. Perhaps most distinctively, I go around the world installing markers and historical sites in our linear world that honor stories from a parallel world. We've done 131 so far in 27 linear countries. The whole thing is like a novel with every page in a different place--look for those pages here on the Atlas and send or hashtag a picture when you get there via instagram @kcymaerxthaere. There are a lot of other manifestations at the website too! Lastly, I am honored to have been the first Geographer-in-Residence of Atlas Obscura and hope I've contributed some cool other places as well!
