Highlights
Alter Bahnhof Video Walk
Created for dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel, the Alter Bahnhof Video Walk by Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller guides viewers through a train station via iPod, blending filmed past and present into an uncanny “physical cinema” about memory and presence.
Surfacing through Rhythm
In the UK, I expand on the founding purpose of Mary Stevens Park, Stourbridge, as a mingling space for people from different backgrounds by including the more-than-human. I assign each solar term a territorial ‘segment,’ equalising time and place.
Walk 2
Walk 2 (Margate, 2010) had 200 participants walk in silence atop the Marine Bathing Pool wall, maintaining one-metre spacing. Exposed to wind and cold, the walk demanded focus and discipline, fostering a meditative, trance-like awareness of body, rhythm, and environment.
Ministry of Silly Walks
A Monty Python sketch where John Cleese plays a serious civil servant at a fictional government office dedicated to inventing and funding absurd, exaggerated walking styles, satirizing bureaucracy through deadpan dialogue and extreme physical comedy.
Seven Ballets in Manhattan
Daniel Buren’s Seven Ballets in Manhattan was an ambulatory performance where five actors marched through New York, carrying striped posters. The work, resembling a protest, engaged the public directly, provoking varied reactions based on the city's neighborhoods.
Seat Belt, Three Points
Seat Belt, Three Points invites viewers to strap into a seat belt attached to three stations, creating a physical interaction with the artwork. Baden’s works explored kinesthetic experiences and neuromuscular memory, altering perceptions of balance and sensory imprint.
Walking pieces
The Battle of Orgreave
Jeremy Deller’s The Battle of Orgreave (2001) re-enacted the 1984 miners’ strike clash with 800 historical re-enactors and 200 former miners, staging a living memory “battle” to explore history, collective memory, and the drama of social conflict.
