Psychogeography: discovering the mental terrain of the city

September 7th, 2009 by Dan Hill

Very nice little documentary on a favourite topic - walking the city in order to understand it, via psychogeography, Situationists, Walter Benjamin etc. but angled towards dead-ends in industrial canals in of South Sydney, a long way from M. Debord. Captures how tricky it is to walk Sydney, too (outside of the centre) although also reveals the benefits that await those that do. Actually, it's also the city on two wheels too, with some lovely, evocative bike-borne exploring of Sydney's Inner West. (Some nice refs. on the All In The Mind showpage below).
