Collective walking! Peripheral observations! Bodily immersion! Pilgrimages! Ecological activism!
Mythogeography looks at multiplicity, it focuses on layers of stories embedded in places, while critically engaging with them.It blends geography with personal narratives, getting immersed in explorations that become site-specific performative acts.
Psychogeography was all about emotions. It became theoretical quite easily when that nice sparkly patina of avant-gardism faded away. Kinda individualistic before, now even more, far from collectivity, far away in the olympus of the dusty-20th-century-avant-garde-movements.
Mythogeography, instead, is the artsy younger sibling, the one that did theatre school and is all about doing 🎤🎭performances🎸🎶, having meditative experiences around rubbles, crying about disrupting the academy, capitalism, the whole reality if possible.
Psychogeography likes to linger in theory without necessarily arriving anywhere.
