Hello, A few months ago there were some emails in Frameworks concerning "the art of walking". There were dozens of responses on films and videographic works.
With curator Alexandra Laudo we have done a 26-minute essay video that analyzes some considerations of walking through artistic actions and audiovisual works, some of them cited in this mailing list. The video was produced for the project Soy Cámara by the CCCB of Barcelona. It contains english subtitles. Here is the link: https://www.cccb.org/en/multimedia/videos/there-is-no-way/234129 *Walking is a form of knowledge, a way of exploring the possibilities and limits of the environment through the body. In the process of humanization, bipedalism symbolically marked the birth of the human species and walking has been an essential activity in the development and life of people ever since. But urbanization and the privatization of natural space make it difficult to walk freely, as do the imperatives of performance, optimization and productivity. “There Is No Way” reviews some of the anthropological, social and philosophical meanings of walking, and highlights the resistance to this practice today. The visual narration pieces together video and film references and, in particular, the visual documentation of artworks that see the act of walking as an artistic practice.* All the best, Albert -- http://albertalcoz.com/ <http://www.albertalcoz.com/>
