‘Novel’: Between photographing and writing the city

This paper looks at the history of a half-photography, half-fiction, project, whilst it contemplates
the possible links between visuality, narratives and space. The article accounts for the
development of a partly photographic, partly textual documentary, as well as a theoretical
exploration of, space as experienced, perceived or imagined. Both levels upon which the article
operates are mutually defined by their co-existence, much like the two different, but
interconnected narratives of the project. Through theoretical association, the article attempts to
explore the existence of personal associations as definitive and significant in the occupation and
interpretation of urban space.
