UK Border Walk
UK Border Walk (2011) is a performative 77km walk along the Scottish–English border by Rocca Gutteridge and Claudia Zeiske, responding to the UK’s Tier 5 visa. Through walking and public debate, it highlighted how migration policy restricts artistic exchange and mobility.
Security Barriers A-Z
Security Barriers A–Z is a study of Karachi’s street security barriers (2009–2019), which emerged after 9/11 and examine notions of safety, economic segregation, state control, and political demarcation. Removed from context, they resemble minimalist abstractions.
Walk the Line
Lauren Brincat's Walk the Line explores borders, territory, and disappearance through walking. Filmed at Cape Leeuwin, Australia, the video contrasts geological formations, dunes, and ocean, invoking both physical and metaphorical boundaries in a haunting, solitary performance.

A 26 mile walk celebrating the human pace.
Slow Marathon is Deveron Projects’ annual 42km/26miles themed walking event, composed of a conceptually led walk, expanding upon a theme or an idea related to our curated programme, in effect taking it for a walk. It is followed by a day of talks, films, food and discussion, in relation to the chosen project. Celebrating the human pace, it is both an endurance event as well as a poetic act that brings together friendship, physical activity and the appreciation of our landscapes in their geo-political settings.
Slow Marathon began in 2012 in collaboration with Ethiopian artist Mihret Kebede who attempted to walk from her home in Addis/Ethiopia to Huntly. The Addis to Huntly and back walk, was abandoned as visa restrictions, border controls and deserts got in the way. Instead, Mihret decided to walk the total 5,850 miles distance with many people to reach the distance metaphorically.
Check below the list of previous Slow Marathon routes:
- Under One Sky, 2020
- Dufftown to Huntly, 2018
