THE LRM

The LRM is an organization focused on the documentation, preservation, and exploration of ephemeral and site-specific artworks, particularly those that intersect with cultural geography and public space. It functions as an archival platform that collects and curates research materials on walking-based art practices, environmental interventions, and other performative actions that engage with landscapes and urban environments. The LRM emphasizes the historical and contemporary significance of these practices by providing detailed records, artist interviews, critical essays, and visual documentation. The platform serves as a resource for scholars, artists, and researchers interested in the ways art interacts with geographic and social contexts. Through its extensive archive, The LRM highlights the intersection of art, geography, and anthropology, underscoring how walking and movement in space can operate as a form of artistic inquiry and cultural critique. The collection includes a range of artworks that challenge traditional gallery spaces, focusing instead on the dynamic and temporal qualities of art situated in physical environments.

pedinamento

A highly influential ideologue of neorealism, scriptwriter and director Cesare Zavattini suggested “pedinare,” the Italian word for stalking or shadowing, as a technique for filmmaking. Pedinare in cinema entailed “tailing someone like a detective, not determining what the character does but seeking to find out what is about to ensue.” The etymology of the word in Italian suggests “legwork” as it is derived from the Italian word for foot, “piede.” It is possible to suggest that the proliferation of images of walking in Italian Neorealism is closely linked to the technique of pedinamento, not because all neorealist filmmakers were followers of Zavattini, but because going out onto the street to encounter the everyday life of post-war Italian cities and creating cinematic tools to articulate these encounters were major concerns for the filmmakers of that era.
