COMMUNITY WALK<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a time when we are encouraged to keep our distance, this Community Walk is a study of how we create physical presence. How do we meet when familiar rituals such as handshakes and hugs are discouraged? How do we recognize each other’s presence when we individually and collectively perform social control in the fear of an invading hidden enemy?<\/p>\n

Over 12 hours, I explore with 12 guests the proximity and distance in communities, where 5 actions and a dress are our common focal points. Every hour I meet a new guest in central Copenhagen, from where we, connected to each other, will walk towards the next guest. Each guest is invited to interpret the 5 actions.<\/p>\n

A yellow robe connects me and the walking guest. Through the dress we explore how we can feel each other’s presence. At the same time, we jointly navigate and negotiate how we can keep our distance from each other and from others. Caused by places and people we pass in the city, we reflect physically and verbally on the concept of community. How is the community doing – have our communities changed?<\/p>\n

5<\/u> Community Walk actions<\/u>
\n<\/u>Action 1 – Welcome ritual: Greeting nearby, but at a distance.
\nAction 2 – Undressing and Dressing ritual: Hands over the dress to the newly-arrived.
\nAction 3 – Parting ritual: Farewell to the previous guest.
\nAction 4 – Testimony ritual: As a testimony of the conversation and\/or the physical experience that the walk has elicited, the departing guest reflects on the concept of community.
\nAction 5 – Walking ritual: Negotiation and navigation through the city.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The route represents places I met\/walked with others during the lockdown, where I missed the presence of others, and places where the city spaces were suddenly depopulated. The audience is welcome to meet and follow us from a distance<\/p>\n
