The journey as a performative residency

 
In this project, I consider the displacement in itself a 'residency'. The starting point was clear; the end will only be the conclusion of a process. The journey is not the metaphor of a work, but it is a work in itself, as a composition in time and space. There is no clear geographical destination, there is only the intention to be on the road. 
As part of this project, I make impromptu walks, car rides and train journeys.


 
Slate and cork
 
 

In a landscape of slates and cork oaks
I took a walk.

During the walk
I kept a piece of cork in my left hand,
and a piece of slate in the right hand.

Duet
 
From the trees overhanging the path came the sound of a nightingale.
I recorded the sound with my phone and then played it loudly.
The nightingale responded and sang a duet with its own captured song.
