I used psychogeography as both a theoretical and empirical framework to examine the overlooked problem of food waste in urban public areas. Psychogeography investigates the impact of the physical environment, especially urban settings, on human behavior and emotions. In the framework of this project, I studied the streets of Middlesbrough as extensions of the supermarket ecosystem. I utilised photographic documentation of abandoned food items located on streets to illustrate the subtle accumulation of trash in daily urban life. These photos represent an account of disconnection between excess food and sustainable redistribution. I sought to graphically underline the repercussions of systemic inefficiencies and challenge the sanitised notion of food waste as something that stops inside shop walls. This psychogeographic method brings to light the material and ethical components of food waste that are typically obscured from public debate.
