Guy Debord desribed psychogeography as "the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals." For this project, dozens of subjects were asked to talk the artist through their geographical environment (in the case the university campus) using a map to explain the emotional and psychological states inspired by their surrounds. Unsurprisingly, each subject's experience of the same places, buildings and thoroughfares differed according to their own experiences and internal states - one playing off the other to create their own unique mindspaces. Three psychogeographical maps were then selected, images captured whilst exploring the routes and locations described by each subject, then combined to create visual representations of psychogeographical spaces. |
