Psychogeography

Guy Debord quote in 1955: 'The study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organised or not, on the emotions and behaviour of individuals'.


At first I was unsure of what Psychogeography meant but after reading about it I think its to do with seeing the world differently. Most people for example stick to there comfort zones i.e going on the same route to work, going to the same shops. But do we really see what is around us... Do you go down back allys or look up and see the top of buildings, do you know anything about the history thats around you? 


This is something I am going to explore in my own work, and I think it will be interesting to see what outcome I will get.
