When Faith Moves Mountains is a video installation, that involved 500 volunteers shoveling and subsequently displacing a sand dune in Lima. The artwork acts as a social allegory and is an example of relational artwork by Francis Alys.

In this walking art piece, a simple yet evocative action unfolds over 18 minutes and 20 seconds, transforming a rural Catskills landscape into a meditation on connection, presence, and the changing dynamics of perception. The work takes the viewer on a journey around a tree in Maplecrest, NY, using the act of walking as both an artistic practice and a means of creating an evolving relationship with the environment.

Walking Like a Tortoise started with collective walking around the edge of Edinburgh to celebrate the Festival of Terminalia. It was followed by more walks, creative responses and art-making, much questioning, conversation & radical hospitality.

The People’s Park. By the Park’s People. This sound walk was created as a contribution to Poole Park Celebration Day, held on 29th July, 2021. The audio materials were sourced from online video clips, in which people documented their own experiences while visiting the Park. These were combined with excerpts from interviews with local people, to provide some additional perspectives about the Park and how it has changed over time. Together, this mosaic of sounds provides a unique insight into how people value the Park, and how they use it to have fun in so many different ways.

This video explores the various surfaces of a rhetorical walk to — inscribing the road with feet and posting signage systems with tape and staples — all to find a lost cat.

Drawing on an old local folk-tale that contains remnants of ritual, Libations was a 30-day project involving listening to the land and multi-species others, walking, and pouring a libation of water as an offering each day.

Guards (2004) is a video installation with sound documenting a performance orchestrated by the Belgian-born artist Francis Alÿs. It is one part of the “Seven Walks” series commissioned by Artangel.

Man Who Runs, a 1963 piece published in Fluxus Magazine cc V TRE, was displayed on the second page as a map of the midtown New York Public Library, with arrows indicating the exit paths.

In Episode 4 of Lowlines we follow the threads to the La Gitana bar in Arivaca, the brittle dirt of a huntress’s land, discover an abandoned halfway house, a coven of new wave desert women in a secret bar at the back of a store – and then gravitate further down to the border to get up close with The Wall.

Echoed Chamber originated from a jam session. Being fascinated by the primitive sounds we made, we did it again in a cave, recorded and processed the sounds to recreate the acoustics there, and made a sample pack for anyone to experience it anywhere.

We kick off the first series of Lowlines with me, Petra, getting my feet back on the ground at the Ole & Nu Style Fellas parade in the 6th Ward. Then we step off the sidewalk to go find the wonderful Jarrad DeGruy, whose footwork is unmatched, and whose spirit behind it is key to understanding the relationship between the second liners of New Orleans and the ground upon which they dance.

The SPACE Walk uses the act of walking together through the landscape to acknowledge each of us as knowledge holders, to share stories, and to listen respectfully and attentively as we consider what it means to be a Good Ancestor.

I invite you to walk with me (in our imagination) to the British library. When there, I invite you to explore the micro-movements happening in the chest, and how and what we experience when we search for the smallest movements.

This sound walk through an imaginary castle can be performed at any ‘heritage’ site. The guide challenges how visitors experience the prompts of historical interpretation by adding layers of imagined history that are mysterious and arbitrary. The style imitates conventional interpretive audio guides, before revealing a narrative that is non-didactic, destabilizing, weird and comical. I made space for class commentary and for including the more-than-human.

This audio was mostly improvised while walking and slightly refined afterwards. It was then recorded at five different sites, including two Norman ruined castles, one in England and one in Wales and a Neolithic burial chamber. You may begin this walk anywhere. It is intended to take 25-45 minutes.
