Slow Marathon 2020: Cabrach-Huntly

Walk

Deveron Projects’ annual 42k/26 miles walking event.

This year, our marathon length walk will be designed with artist Iman Tajik. Through Bordered Miles, we are looking at issues surrounding migration, borders and landflight – past and present in an area in Scotland that has been depopulated through political activity, while many say, our country is full.

The Cabrach – Huntly route complements and earlier marathon length walk designed by the artist, that led from Glasgow to the Dungavel Removal Centre, where many people are kept in the immigration orbit.

Slow Marathon, co-concepted with Ethiopian artist Mihret Kebede in 2012, is our annual walking event. Celebrating the human pace, it is both an endurance event as well as a poetic act, that brings together friendship, physical activity and an appreciation of our varied landscape.

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.
