The Derive
In the spirit of the French Situationists I embarked on a derive: a psycho-geographical investigation of the urban environment. These images are from a particular ‘drifting’ that took place in December of 2004 in San Francisco.

“Derive (English translation: drifting): a technique of transient passage through varied ambiances. The derive entails playful – constructive behavior and awareness of psycho-geographical effects…. In a derive one or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives for movement and action, their relation, their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.”
---Guy Debord; Theory of the Derive
