You Walk…
2022
Translating his performance practice into a participatory installation, You Walk… offers a series of visual and textual prompts that invite us to consider how we process and embody space, ideas, and connectivity. Using visual elements like two-way mirrors and mock windowscapes, the space reflects a shared physical present but also alludes to the differences that shape our individual perspectives. Text prompts throughout the space encourage visitors to relive memories of simple movements and gestures – walking down the street, averting your gaze from a stranger, holding someone’s hand. These reflections draw awareness to experiences that can’t be articulated as much as felt.
