A site-specific performance activating a real GPS segment of 17 meters, corresponding to a border crossing I made on foot between Albania and Greece, at dawn on June 13, 2022.
A synthetic voice reads the exact coordinates of this path. At 2 minutes and 18 seconds, the voice speaks the exact location where I crossed the border. At that precise moment, I physically cross a red line traced on the ground.
The performance explores the tension between the body, the code, and time. It is not a line to follow. It is a line to cross — at the right time.
This performance is preceded by an introductory walk, a ritual of entry into the territory of Prespa: Prespa’s Butterflies.

Workshop Leaders: Rosie Montford’s exhibition ‘Song of the Path’ is on at Gallery 44AD. Her practice explores the dialogue between walking and drawing, seeking out landscapes from which she can physically combine disciplines to work across printmaking, drawing and bookmaking. Vicky Hunter is a Visiting Research Fellow in dance and environmental humanities at Bath Spa University and formerly Professor of Site Dance at the University of Chichester. Her site-specific dance research examines the body’s engagement with space and place through considering bodily, spatial and kinetic engagements with environments. Vicky has produced a number of site dance performance works and a book publication Site, Dance and Body: Movement, Materials and Corporeal Engagement (2021).
