It was a very hot summer’s day, one of those days, when the streets are perfumed by the rank smell of the baking tarmac and I found myself drifting through the city. In the embrace of the heat I surrendered to the paths that opened before me, it was thus that I found myself rewriting the city. The surrealists first advocated a losing oneself to a walkabout guided by aimless drifting governed by subconscious actions as a way to ‘transform the urban centre into an adventurous forest’. The situationist’s drifting refined the art from simply getting lost to an act of recontextualisation. Once cast adrift through the act of drifting the situationists felt that you could break the topological chains that regulate the use of urban space. Well known places traversed everyday in the course of repetitive itineraries became unexplored forests rich with sensations, scents and sounds previously undetected. New paths were created new connections made and the working city revealed as a playground.
