MarusaNotes

explain your process to make this psychgeo

Method:

I took my house mates on a walk on a sunny day . I explained psychgeography to them and handed them a camera. I asked them to capture the atmosphere of the street. Use the medium freely. Take a photo of something you find interesting. The we go to Maastunnel but how you choose the route is up to you. The group made 500 photos. I opted them into categories and printed them out. I then began to arrange them, ripping them up, visually creating a softer feel. I made connections with the string charting the route I take from my house to the tunnel.

I started to get lost in the map as it became more complex. I printed it twice so that the same material can be arranged differently by the group I commissioned to take the photographs.

Motivation: I feel detached from the streets I travel through daily, nothing excites or interests me, a pile of inert objects that get in my way. The maps are a way of connecting with the streets of Rotterdam and finding methods to make connections. .
