Psychogeographical Game of the Week, 2007, Vinyl lettering, slide projector, 80 glassless slide mounts, plinth.
Psychogeographical Game of the Week
Depending on what you are after, choose an area, a more or less populous city, a more or less lively street. Build a house. Furnish it. Make the most of its decoration and surroundings. Choose the season and the time. Gather together the right people, the best records and drinks. Lighting and conversation must of course be appropriate. Pick up a subject for the conversation. Don’t be too politically correct, but always fun. Along with the weather talk about your memories.
After a while, bring the slide projector and start by showing your friends the pictures from your last adventure. Explain them your feelings towards each photograph. Don’t forget to explain every detail about the specific conditions in which the pictures where taken. Be very precise. Spend four or five minutes on each photograph. You should be creative and make up a story for each photograph. Use descriptions from novels that you’ve read. Build a fictional world together with your own experience. Be convincing. Make the others see what you see, even though you are aware from the beginning that this is an impossible task.
This text is the continuation of ‘Phsycogeographical Game of the Week‘ first published in Potlach #1 – Information Bulletin of the French section of the Lettrist International, 22 June 1954

The video installation I’m presenting in Galleri Peep is a work that continues the investigation on the construction of social and ideological spaces through an interpretation of images. The video is a non-linear narrative made from selected footage of Portuguese propaganda films called Actualidades, Actualities. These films were made in the Portuguese ex-colonies Angola and Mozambique, (during the Fascist Regime, 1938-1972) as some sort of documentaries to be shown as news reports, just before the movies in the cinema theater.
The video shows the construction and development of new cities and infra-structures, and establishes a dialogue between them and a human presence, in a form of constant adjustment.
The footage selected from reels dated from 1958 to 1961 were carefully selected in the Department of Documentary Film of the National Archive of Moving Images in Lisboa.
The title Travelogue is a reference to a specific genre of film making which antecipated documentary film. The 'travelogue was introduced in 1893 by Burton Holmes, who was a traveller and a storyteller and his travelogues were primarily lectures, illustrated by hand colored glass lantern slides. He also made panoramic photography and films that were presented as a from of “virtual tourism”. They provided information and entertainment about distant parts of the world in the late 19th century. Travelogues were later made popular by Lowell Thomas, during World War II, and were shown in movie theaters across the U.S.'
