A walk in the dark / A walk in the light (2012)

Work and text in cooperation with Annelinde Kirchgaesser. "A walk in the dark" and "A walk in the light" were developed successively. "Pocket Walk", a tiny fanfold, is a corresponding publication.

Artist's statement for degree show:
Interacting with the surrounding world through the medium of walking, we attempt to approach the point where physical reality starts to fade, making place for those underlying dynamics that usually stay unseen.

A combination of action, process and intervention is both the origin and the objective of our work.
Our experiences are documented and formed in various media such as photography, drawing and text, and communicated in different presentation forms.
Our approach refers to the Situationists' idea of the dérive, and other walking artists like Richard Long, Sights and Wrights and Francis Alÿs. Furthermore we are driven by Joseph Beuys' idea of an extended definition of art.
