Body City


“In a derive one or more per­sons dur­ing a cer­tain period drop their rela­tions, their work and leisure activ­i­ties, and all their other usual motives for move­ment and action, and let them­selves be drawn by the attrac­tions of the ter­rain and the encoun­ters they find there. Chance is a less impor­tant fac­tor in this activ­ity than one might think: from a derive point of view cities have psy­choso­cial con­tours, with con­stant cur­rents, fixed points and vor­texes that strongly dis­cour­age entry into or exit from cer­tain zones” (Debord, 1958).

It’s about rein­vent­ing our­selves as bod­ies, not fixed, in equally dis­parate and shift­ing sur­round­ings. we may col­lab­o­rate and pro­duce as a group, a city, but those points of spon­ta­neous expres­sion leave only traces as we move through then away from them. This project begins with a ran­dom sam­pling of words paired with a tem­po­rary struc­ture the body agrees to embody.

Let’s keep mov­ing, shall we?
