PSYCHOGEOGRAPHY of people, water, in drift
From Gordon Matta-Clark: The Space Between by James Attlee & Lisa Le Feuvre (2003):
"Psychogeographers would drift through the urban environment, attuned to subtle changes in the atmosphere of the streets, prompted to change direction by stimuli not immediately apparent to less sensitive observers. The important thing was to get beyond the overarching control of town-planners, politicians and architects, into regions where there existed a unitary ambience: an indefinable combination of lively and colourful inhabitants, light, sounds, activity and architectural backdrop.
Situationist cartography, making use of cutups and collages of existing maps, was highly selective, concentrating on revealing the surviving fragments of the city that had escaped the attention of urban planners and retained their original ambiance and excising the rest."
