This time, it did not feel too lonely...

Let's take a walk #16 took place in what seems to be ages ago. I recall the fun of The Three Kings parade.
What surprise, what a pleasure to see my friend Christo just as I was ending the walk.
We kept following the parade together.
My friend went back to Switzerland, leaving behind her some great memories and an amazingly delicious home made Walnut Tart.
For those of you lucky enough to live in Zurich, Christo sells them in the market... Worth looking for.
I might conduct next walk from Indianapolis Looking forward to the next time. Bise mc

Let's Take a Walk Images

Let's Take a Walk. Still from video, 2010. Video shows montage of video footage received by Twitter participants who filmed their walk.

Let’s Take a Walk uses the phenomenon of Twitter so that people all over the world can join in a “group walk.” Requesting that they film their journey, the various footage are then assembled into a video installation showing the experience of our group walking in different places but moving synchronized through the same footprints…

Still from Performance, Let's Take a Walk #9

LTAW #9 featured a new addition to the work, inviting not only participants via Twitter, but also participants gathered from visitors to the Figment Art Festival on Governor’s Island (2010) to walk alongside me during the performance. It also introduced a town crier and drummer that helped lead the procession. I also wore a knitted overskirt that unraveled with each step, leaving a physical trace of our path.

LTAW #15

I am thankful...
For your participation and support. Saturday 11/27 at 11 am EST I will start sending you messages via Twitter guiding you
to follow my walk from anywhere in the world, please film or photograph your journey. I will later assemble all the various footage
to create a visual journal of our combined walks.

For the first time, in all those years living in New York City I went to the Macy Thanksgiving Parade. 72nd street was way too crowded so I zoomed down to 59 street an found a wonderful spot to enjoy the experience.
I wish I had conducted LTAW #15 at that moment, how great it would have been to include thankfulness in such a visible way into LTAW. However no matter where the walk will take place I want to thank you for all your continuous support.
I hope that you can participate in LTAW #15.

LTAW #14 at the Rally to Restore Sanity

What a fun experience, as one of my travel companion said "it was all very sane" including the driving to Washington and back to New York on the same day.
The insane element was that there was no internet connections whatsoever, we could not even use our cell phones. I was there and ready to conduct LTAW #14 and could not connect with you.
My deepest apologies to those of you who where waiting in vain.
In my quest for connection I entered the National Gallery of Art hoping for an internet access but no luck... In the process missing one of my favorite singer Cat Steven/ Yusuf Islam, his first word was Peace before he started to sing The Peace Train.

Remember, Let's vote on Tuesday,
