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:

*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
