WAYS of WALKING

This is a public artwork commissioned in 2018, by the City of Unley – for the series of ARTS IN YOUR SPACE.

 

WAYS of WALKING is a tour of everyday strolls through Unley tracing unique experiences of local people in Malvern, Highgate, Fullarton, and Myrtle Bank.

 

There are 20 stations, each has a tale from the community that has been transformed into a short story and images that can be accessed through the QR-code.

It was a wonderful process for me; discovering local treasures and talking to many people about their day to day experiences in the neighborhood. The kids from Highgate Primary School were involved, they were fantastically helpful and creative.

 

If you are not in Adelaide, then you can access the content through an APP and take the walk virtually – have fun!

 

Here I share one of my favorite stories:

 

During lunch break, Sky leaves the office with her colleague to walk around the block. It is time for a deep breath of fresh air and to connect with the outdoor world. Sky knows she has to put her head down and change perspective in the middle of the day. She calls it: connecting to reality. After that, she returns to the flat screen of binary code.
