The urban landscape has been a tool for many as an exploration of the public and private realm. Charms of ruins has been acknowledged as a category in the street domain as it’s aesthetic role reproduces power in the photographic image. In Guy Debord’s The Derive and Social Space, he refers the lived space (representational space) to have moved away into the space of the conceived and perceived through the individual (representations of space).
In this series I would like to venture the city, combing it with the casual eye of the stroller with the purposeful gaze of the detective (George Simmel), to construct a narrative using a inventive strategy for exploration - the derive. Experiencing the space, replacing the position of a voyeur with that of the walker. Abandoning oneself to the attraction of the terrain and the encounters proper to it - the solicitation of the landscape.
