Paving the way: an exploration of socially engaged female walking practices through sonic art

Originally created to accompany a research thesis, the audio tapestry presents opportunity to reflect on the role of sonic arts within participatory walking practices, exploring connection between two female walkers, and the space they move through.

Invitation to Walk – Hör-Spiel-Spaziergang ‘Built & Grown’ in Berlin-Friedrichshain

The four episodes lead and allure to body-perception experiments while walking. They are intended for the appropriation of the city with and through somatics, choreography and artistic research.

Hilbre Island at High Tide

I compiled sounds recorded during a walk around Hilbre Island during high tide, when the island is cut off from mainland Wirral. I wanted to document the atmosphere of the island, for anyone unwilling or unable to make the journey themselves.

First, if it is true that a spatial order organizes an ensemble of possibilities (e.g., by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g., by a wall that prevents one from going further), than the walked actualizes some of these possibilities. In that way, he makes them exist as well as emerge. But he also moves them about and he invents others, since the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform, or abandon spatial elements.
