Psycho//Geo

PSYCHOGEOGRAPHY (noun): "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."

  • Artist, Robert Ladislas Derr uses die rolls and cameras to map his walk through cities worldwide

    Chance, psychogeographical walk performances through cities with the direction determined by viewers’ die rolls. The die indicates that Derr move forward, backward, right, left, spin, and stand in place. He accepts thirty die rolls and then proceeds on the walk wearing four video cameras. When spin or stand in place are the command, he completes each for one minute. The directional commands take him to the next intersection. After walking with the video cameras, Derr returns to each intersection encountered and photographs the four views, creating a photographic cartography as well. The final videos are exhibited in an immersive four-channel video installation.
