The Walk












Consciousness in experience makes it distinct and it's only with consciousness in dwelling claims it's meaning. Taking Heidegger's notion of dwelling into account, the project aims at bringing the element of conscious dwelling claiming forgotten spaces like back lanes or unutilized open areas in Nottingham.
People who dance know that the hardest movement is walking. Pina Baush once said that "Watching how people walk on streets is far more important then watching a performance." In the experience of walking, we travel through spaces by means of doors. Door is a medium in which study of threshold could be carried out. How a person go from outside to inside, from street to a restaurant, to a library, to a cinema, to shopping malls, to a hospital, to a school all differs. The journey is further branches out into the experiment of search. "The search in Door City" originated from "Scars and Framgments" that reveals the deflection, the habit and the past.
