Modern cities are boundless places, and their vast expanses only make them more challenging to represent. To exhaust the possibilities of a city like London is as impossible as squaring a circle, and so it seemed more practical to me to define my documentation through particularities of my own experience, applying a psycho-geographic methodology to capture my daily route from home to the university. The result is a condensed depiction of my sojourn in the city.

The streets, which are the primary setting of the story, tend to give an impression of permanence and hegemony, when objects and the public spaces around them are actually changing all the time. Time plays an important role here, given that the weather, technology, and an endless cycle of renovation are continuously modifying the urban environment.
