The process of my derive is following dots on my map. The dots are actually a representation of birds I saw in my field of vision that I sketched down on a paper with charcoal. Then I went to each location marked by a dot on my map of the Tuileries gardens and took pictures in black and white at random of the area. For part one I presented the pictures I took on screen as a slideshow.
For part two, I took the pictures and printed them out on A3 semi-glossy paper and bound the pictures to make a book. I printed out on the acetate paper the map of the Tuileries gardens and before each picture, there is a dot marked on a blank page that will show you on the map where the picture was taken.
It was a challenge to pinpoint what I wanted to do with the pictures. I had general ideas that I couldn’t materialize.
If I could do another version of my book, I would arrange the book by adding a cover. I would put my memoir of the dérive (for seminar) at the end, and one paraph of my essay as an opening to the book at the beginning.
