Guide psychogeographique de Paris: discours sur les passions de l'amour (1953, English: Psychogeographic Map of Paris: discourse on the passions of love) is a work by Guy Debord.
It was one of the first collaborations between Guy Debord and danish artist Asger Jorn. It is a screen print.
They cut apart a typical map of Paris and repositioned the pieces of the map that corresponded with parts of Paris that were ‘stimulating’ parts of the city and “worthy of study and preservation” they then drew red arrows between these parts of the city to represent the fastest and most direct connections from one place to another preferably made by taxi, as it was seen as the most independent and free way to travel through the city as opposed to buses.
