Light Walks

Light Walks constitutes a series of walking performances of light and chalk writing for camera, open to the public and initially presented at (OUT)TOPIAS: Performance and Public Space exhibition at The Benaki Museum in Athens during 22/9/2016 and 2/10/2016. Following Walter Benjamin's famous description on the flaneur as someone who goes "botanizing on the asphalt" - the work accompanied by a light bulb and a chalk, brings forward an ephemeral and emotional imprint of poetry within site. The artist explores the poetics and politics of walking with the object of light and chalk, highlighting issues of senses, ritual, memory and place.
