Ambient Walk

Performance, Video Installation, various lengths

In this series of site-specific works, the artist navigates the back alleys and paths of the city on foot with a video camera focused down on the walking surface.  As surfaces rapidly pass by the lens, an unusual perspective of the city is captured. The visual result is highly animated with an endless variety of pattern, line, and colour. The rhythm of the performer's footsteps and surrounding human and machine activity adds an ambient sound mix.

Ambient Walks have been performed and videos produced for Windsor, (2011), Nuit Blanche Toronto (live stream, 2012), Chicago (2013), Lisbon (2021), Malaga (2021), Granada (2021). Works in progress: Havana, Vancouver, Detroit.
