Dérive

In a Dérive one or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives for movement and actions, their relations, their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there. From the Dérive point of view cities have a pyschological relief, with constant currents, fixed points and vortexes which strongly discourage entry into or exit from certain zones.
