"Place, Practice, Performance" is a narrative project rooted in Situationist psychogeography, examining the waning human-social place connection, turning vibrant places into isolated spaces. This notebook-style work documents both collective and personal psychogeographical practices, offering it as a tool to understand and reshape urban life. It leads readers from solitary experiences to societal engagement, bridging the physical and the virtual.
This book breaks the mold with its unique self-rubber binding—a nod to the flexibility of exploration it offers. Each rubber band is symbolic, mapping the journey through the individual chapters, which are as varied in their page sizes and paper textures as the content they contain. Unfolding the book reveals an immediate presentation of the chapter titles to the reader, removing the traditional barrier of a table of contents and inviting a non-linear journey through its pages.
Readers are invited to embark on a non-linear exploration, akin to navigating a city's diverse districts, where every intersection opens several potential directions. Start from the beginning or leap into what captures your interest—here, your reading journey is uniquely yours.
I envision crafting a space that mirrors the innovative ideas expressed in my book, an immersive experience where reading is akin to traversing the very landscape of the narrative itself. Inspired by the theory of psychogeography, each chapter is named after a sentiment that comes from my intuition about the content of the chapter.
