Platform 10 | Jane’s Walk London Festival 2022

Platform 10

ℙ𝕝𝕒𝕥𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕞 𝟙𝟘 is an immersive sound walk set within North London’s Parkland Walk – a green corridor following an abandoned railway line. Along the way you will discover hidden stories, voices and rhythms of the Parkland Walk as you’re guided through an alluring commute starting at the derelict train platforms at Crouch End Hill (lookout for the bright coloured bench and orange handrail on the platform where you’ll find a QR code for the experience).

Following narrated instructions, we invite you to join an audio experience where reality and fiction coexist through a collection of stories and sounds inspired by the memories and perspectives of Parkland Walk users. As you move, look and think in unison with the narrator, your sense of self is heightened but also put into question – whose reality are you embodying? Which sounds are constructed and which ones are real?

The project aims to celebrate the Parkland Walk’s important role as a much-needed space to escape the city and speculates other such spaces across London. What are those spaces and how can we use storytelling, research and sound to celebrate and protect them?

Platform 10 is a project developed by a team of students on MA Narrative Environments at Central Saint Martins. The project is led by Jessica Sammut, assisted by Leanne Finn-Davis, Teddy Godwin, Yutzu Lai, Chris Mademtzis and Lucy McCullough.

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
