Produced as part of a public commission intended to document the urban mutations of the city of Marseille. Psychogeography is defined by Guy Debord as "the study of the precise effects of the geographical environment, consciously built or not, on the affective behaviors of individuals." Beyond the constructed nature of the relationship between environment and individuals, the images retain from this reference the playful-extremist challenge to utilitarian urbanism and the projection of a disturbing fiction into the current city, experienced while being rejected. The psychogeographic approach emphasizes the mirror-like effect between a state of fact and the form of its denunciation. The images reveal no truth more worthy, nor the sad beauty of ruins.

Antoine d’Agata was born in 1961 in Marseille. At 17, he was drawn to punk and anarchist movements. He began frequenting brothels and regularly experimenting with various artificial paradises.
