“The sudden change of ambiance in a street within the space of a few meters; the evident division of a city into zones of distinct psychic atmospheres; the path of least resistance which is automatically followed in aimless strolls (and which has no relation to the physical contour of the ground); the appealing or repelling character of certain places - all this seems to be neglected.”

• Guy Debord, Introduction to a Critique of Urban Geography (more)

“Live without dead time.”

• Graffiti, Paris, May 1968 (more)
