The film documents the Seven Walks in a Holy City project (2011), Walking, playing and collecting photographs in the city of Jerusalem.

Cards picked out at the outset of each day define where the walk starts from and the theme for the day. A die tossed at the starting point of each walk and then at regular intervals throughout it, dictates directions to walk in and another die dictates how often a photo is taken.

7 walks in 28 Minutes was screened as part of Footnotes Playing Dead, Standpoint Gallery, London (2015). It was also screened in numerous academic conference as well as exhibitions such as Metageography : Space – Image – Action, Pushkin House, London (2017), Metageography: Orientalism or Dreams of Robinson, Zarya Centre for Contemporary Art, Vladivostok (2018) and Foreignness (2019) at KUMU (Estonian Art Museum) to name but some.

GPS, geo-poetic system

Geo-poetic system was a term coined by Lucy Frears during locative media art research (published 2017). The basis of geopoetics, a theory and practice developed by Scottish philosopher and poet Kenneth White, is to connect humans to the lines of the earth (White cited in McManus 2007: 183), or ‘what’s out there’ (Ingold 1993; 154; White 2005: 200; White 2006: 9). The contact White describes is often between the human mind and the earth, what he calls ‘landscape-mindscape’ (Legendre 2011: 121). Because of the embodied nature of locative media experiences using a smartphone in landscape for these walking art experiences using gps technologies Frears expanded this notion to being ‘landscape-mindscape-bodyscape’ (2017).
