Street Haunting: Reflections on staying at home and walking the city

Johanna Steindorf’s audio paper reflects on how pandemic-related sheltering in place has altered experiences of staying at home and walking in the city, drawing on Virginia Woolf’s and Xavier de Maistre’s writings. She discusses her artistic projects, including video and audio walks that explore mediated presences in urban spaces, examining their implications for understanding space and future experiences.

This is a binaural sound walk that I created during my riversssounds residency in March 2021. It portrays the path from a noisy bridge with lots of traffic into calmer spheres in the park. It is a trip exploring the different spaces that the river passes in the city, a trip transcending reality and surfaces, triggering imagination.

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.
