GEORGES PEREC
An excerpt from 'Species of Spaces and Other Pieces' with reference to 'The Street'.

I have become increasingly interested in the idea of the 'stroller' as a stalker of the city.
Often when working on site-specific projects you must first familiarise (and sometimes de-familiarise) yourself with the surroundings in order to approach them in new ways. Often it is useful to start small and work your way up. Georges Perec notes how we can start with the bedroom, to the house, to the street, to the neighbourhood, to the city and so on.
This week, as in the post below, I have transcribed the background audio conversation from a video I had from my time in New York this year. The visual part of the video is a shot looking out of a hotel window on the city at night, the unconscious narrators are unaware that their conversation is being recorded. The dialogue is quite faint, as they are situated in a separate part of the hotel room. The conversation is not deliberate or constructed. It is simply transcribed in part.
