Part of the collective virtual & live group exhibition Connecting Georgia (2019-2020) hosted by Intercult. An artist-led project exploring post-industrial waterfront heritage in the context of urban planning and community development, connecting the city of Batumi with other European cities. I was invited by SIMKA (Karin Lind & Simon Häggblom) to make a site-specific work connected to the path between Slussen & Londonviadukten, Stockholm.
I conducted many walks back and forth during the week we worked, giving myself different tasks of walking, looking, listening while making memory notes after each walk. I then made a montage of some of these texts together with quotes from Walter Benjamin's writings regarding the flaneur, read by an AI voice. During the opening I also invited the visitors to perform silent backward walks with me.
