Since 2015, the Fourth World Congress of Psychogeography has been held annually until this year, 2025, when it was announced that the event will cease to be held.
The final iteration of the congress was titled 'After that, this:' As the official announcement stated, All endings are beginnings, and the open call asked for proposals for talks, walks, workshops, installations, performances and happenings reflecting the theme.
The final event was held the Urban HQ, The Old Police Station, Swansea, Wales, UK on Saturday 11 October 2025.
I proposed a site-specific performance, entitled 'Double Back' that was developed, performed and recorded specifically for this congress in an alleyway in north Leeds that had fascinated me since I first saw it. The alleyway featured eight metal posts that acted as 'nodes' around which the performance route was threaded or woven to create the work.
The performance was recorded and posted on my YouTube channel here.
A presentation was also recorded, to be screened during the morning of the congress. The presentation can be viewed here.
