The post describes a collection of seven interconnected stories set between the British Library and Smithfield Market in London, each paired with a geo-located companion story accessible via What3words locations. These narratives form part of a larger walking-themed series, available as chapbooks from the Museum of Walking, and include audio readings by various performers.

If it takes a week to walk a fortnight….

The seven stories are set (and in some cases were written) in the area of London between the British Library and Smithfield Market. Stories beget stories and each of the printed tales has a companion story that is geo-located nearby the original. These stories are part of a collection with Sunday for Seven Days (all over London) and THE WALKING CURE a 30 minute two-person sound walk, and they are available in chapbook (available here from the Museum of Walking).

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.
