The Place they chose
This project explores space, place, and memory through the concept of psychogeography which examines how environments affect human behaviour. Photography is the tool used to capture this influence revealing both positive and negative effects. The project draws on humanistic geographer Yi-Fu Tuan, who defines space as abstract and impersonal and place as meaningful and secure, evoking the feeling of topophilia. Topophilia is the emotional connection between people and place. To visualise this concept, various individuals were interviewed, describing personal memories that have guided the imagery for the project. Many of the participants recalled childhood experiences, often associated with feelings of warmth, security, and nostalgia, highlighting the deep connections we have to our environment and how experiences can shape the landscape.
