This blog seeks to build an ongoing visual correspondence between the cityscapes of London and New York.
Three Mexicans and an English woman, each of them living in opposite sides of the Atlantic, sharing their views of the cities they inhabit.
This blog is inspired by the concept of ”psychogeography.”
In his “Introduction to a Critique of Urban Geography”, Guy Debord defined psychogeography as “the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals.”
In “Another Way of Walking” Jospeh Hart explains psychogeography as “a whole toy box full of playful, inventive strategies for exploring cities…just about anything that takes pedestrians off their predictable paths and jolts them into a new awareness of the urban landscape.”
Through photographs and possibly some short videos, we seek to explore our own quotidian relationships to the cities we inhabit, and in so doing help build a common, subjective landscape between London and New York.
