La Dérive
by Observation Point and Susan Matthews
La Dérive (The Drift) explores the arcane mythology surrounding 18th Century Architect Nicholas Hawksmoor and his esoteric designs for six London churches. Popular culture (most notably Alan Moore’s graphic novel ‘From Hell’) portrays Hawksmoor’s churches as sited along geometric patterns or leylines, creating a form of ‘psychogeography’ -the specific effects of the geographical environment consciously organised to affect the emotions and behaviour of individuals.
