Place, Practice, Performance is a narrative project rooted in Situationist psychogeography, examining the waning human-social place connection, turning vibrant places into isolated spaces. This notebook-style work documents both collective and personal psychogeographical practices, offering it as a tool to understand and reshape urban life. It leads readers from solitary experiences to societal engagement, bridging the physical and the virtual.

The book unfolds with immediacy, presenting chapter titles directly to the reader and eliminating the traditional table of contents. This design encourages a non-linear exploration, mirroring the experience of navigating a city’s diverse districts, where each intersection opens up multiple pathways.

Each rubber band is emblematic, mapping the journey through the individual chapters, which are as diverse in their page sizes and paper textures as the content they enclose.

INTERIOR SPREADSThe narrative reimagines the book as a dynamic space: titles as landmarks, letters as paths, readers as active participants, reading as practice, and perception as an emotional response. It transforms the act of reading into an experiential journey, inviting readers to engage with the content as they would with an unfamiliar urban landscape.
