PSYCHOGEOGRAPHY PROJECT

...The situationists' desire to become psychogeographers, with an understanding of the 'precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behaviour of individuals', was intended to cultivate an awareness of the ways in which everyday life is presently conditioned and controlled, the ways in which this manipulation can be exposed and subverted, and the possibilities for chosen forms of constructed situations in the post-spectacular world. Only an awareness of the influences of the existing environment can encourage the critique of the present conditions of daily life, and yet it is precisely this concern with the environment which we live which is ignored. (Plant,1992)


This is my psychogeography project, made in Croatia during my holiday trip. It was a great opportunity to do it in a different place rather than Leicester.

 place: ZADAR, old town. during the day 

 scope of my journey: long walk around the city

mapping: relation between people around us.
During editing this video I realised how many interesting people pass me by and I did not really notice that.

record: to document my video I used the phone camera, but I was not a good idea due to the bad quality in some shoots.

rule: my algorithms that I used in this project was a flipping coin, to decide which way I should go. Right/Left Heads/Tails
