about

"The Grey City first appeared to me in dreams; dreams spaced far apart over a long period of years; then I learned to recognise it elsewhere, in films, video games, and in the streets of the towns and villages I visited in my daytime life. I drew some conclusions.

You can't map the Grey City.

You can't locate it.

It exists discontinuously in an unknown number of real cities, night dreams or fictions.

All it takes is for the light to change at the turn of a street, a shade of colour on a building, and I know I have just entered the Grey City. Whether I am awake or dreaming. And I realise that I had forgotten it once again, and that this rediscovery, this anamnesis, is just one more; that there have been a number of others that I am unable to remember.

This awareness of forgetting and remembering is an integral part of how one experiences the Grey City."

A few months ago, Pays Fantôme received an e-mail from an anonymous person claiming to have been a member of a certain Groupement Psychogéographique de l'Est (Eastern Psychogeographical Group), who wished to send us an audio cassette containing about 17 minutes of music and various documents such as screen shots of a game on the Amstrad CPC 6128 or all sorts of texts, illustrated or not: dream stories, fictions, essays, material for role-playing games, etc.

After receiving and examining the material sent to us, it became clear that we had to republish all this.
