I asked the guests to leave the official event area of the performing arts festival at Cordillera space Berlin in the fenced garden by jumping over the fence. The guests jumped after me.

There is a short asphalt path opened up that led into the brick wall hidden behind a thick bush: a dead end. This image as photo motif was already printed on the back of my T-shirt. It was a basis of the performance. I suggested that the guests replace the function of the zoom lens with their own feet by walking towards a zooming object instead of using a photo zoom. In this way, the end point of the dead end path ahead of us became the destination of our walk. As soon as we reached the bush, the same image that was also printed on my back became visible behind the branches. I had previously attached the enlarged image as a large poster to the brick wall behind the bush.

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.
