Abstract
The walking studio is the art of pedestrian encounters, which generate a series of artworks within the passageways of built and natural environments. The materials of each outdoor studio reflect upon locality as a concurrent association to subjectivity in the making. The walk is not so much a destination, but a path of communication with oneself, landscapes, and human territories. Every location reveals an artistically informed situation—a milestone of artistic communication through photography, foraging, or in relation to readymade human contributions (memorial tributes, outsider art forms, shelters, or remainders of human occupation). Walking is a marking and a determination to get somewhere (both on the walk and in life). It is also an immersion into our whereabouts, in terms of the social realities of our neighbourhoods, urban environments, and surrounding habitats.
