Monday 30/9/19 - Flaneur and Dérive in UCA

Today was almost like a preparation day for the trip to Margate tomorrow. We were told of the word Flaneur which means one who saunters around observing society and that for both today and tomorrow we would Flaneur around UCA and Margate. We also learned of the word dérive which is an unplanned journey through a landscape in which participants drop their everyday relations and "let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there". As to what this journey would entail was up to ourselves and ourselves alone.

Much like the word Dérive means, my journey through UCA was completely unplanned, I took random turns and went through corridors with no intended route or destination. I documented my journey through photography and later made a sketch on A2 paper to almost piece together aspects of this journey in one image.
