Psychogeography Project











in our day to day lives we do a lot of travelling, which has come to the point that we are not Consciously aware of the surroundings we may walk past every day this even applies to being in a new environment , for example living in leicester is a new area for me and being here almost half a year i am yet to take in the surroundings it is just me getting from A to B. which is way this project will show me taking a route around leicester and taking photographs of this i would not take any notice of.
For this project my task will be exploring different locations at the same time and how it relates to the human this could be with the street name or in relation with a song, my initial idea was to walk the night life and add to a song which would explain the photography. I am planning to start this project in the evening, after 6pm, and I want to start local but not obvious from the university.
My aim for this journey is to travel past the local areas that people would go on a night out which will be taking a route through the city and multiple places you could end up and multiple things you could go past without recognising.
For this project I am trying to map out how the public fit into their environment depending on the time of day, also would be graffiti, facial expressions still images of the landmarks and atmosphere.
My choice of documenting my project with a media device will be a SLR camera borrowed from the media department I would also like to include audio but this will be uploaded to my made tumblr.
The direction of my journey is based around exploring the in’s and outs of Leicester and memory of most common areas.
