Brisbane Walk #4

Moving forward in a state of self loss, they attune to unseen pathways and the ambient unintended of the city, the two men ‘let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there’ (Debord, G 1956, Theory of the Dérive, view 20 July 2005). Its from these attractions to the terrain that routes open for the men to follow. The aforementioned stills serve as memetic references to these routes and the collective consensus that has formed between the two, and within each.

Brisbane Walk #6

The two people that we see drifting through the city create an ephemeral stream of image reflection behind them. As they notice new avenues and signs, these images are feed back into the consciousness through a generative loop of reflection and interpretation, creating a reading of the situation in relation to the themes that have developed with each step. This image trail forms the fabric of the walk, an artefact that is both personal and collective, alternate threads belong to the singular whilst the interwoven structure gives itself to the plural.

Desires

In searching for something we often find something else. This was the intention when Damian McGrath and I set out on a number of journeys. We where looking for edges of the city with the intention of getting lost. We hoped through getting lost we would find something else. We wanted and desired to be displaced from our everyday surrounds. Being designers and artists we felt that a controlled experiment would bring inspiration and new materials for us to work with back in our studios.
