asti and i talked about sydney yesterday. turns out she’s a mappy person. knows street names, has a city firm in her hand with north at the top, east south west cartwheeling around it clockwise. for me cities are just paths walked. nothing more. i can spin the city like a bottle and it makes no difference to me because i never knew which way was north anyway. i just follow the same mind-path that i walked last time. makes me understand why i did my piece on the old town of pamplona the way i did it. i think i thought i was representing the city through a sort of universal experiential eye. turns out it was just my own.
