Richard Smyth explains the correlation of thought, metaphor and space as we move through his neighborhood to the condemned Haverhill Bridge. Produced in 2001, this seminal scene from Imaging Place, 1997 – 2009, includes footage from the Ulmer Tapes, where Greg Ulmer talks about the Situationists International concept of the dérive and the plaques tournantes. These concepts form the structure by which the entire Imaging Place project was built.
