Socially sensitive art projects focusing on body-mind balance. They are often participatory or interactive, and sometimes happen in public spaces or using specific sites.
City walk. Outdoor yoga. Community experience. Participatory performance. Slowing down. Exhale.
In the beginning, I was afraid that it would be very frustrating to do yoga in an urban public space. But standing on that big bridge in different poses gave me strength and power.
To go for an urban walk/yoga in a public space and remain silent for 2 hours, creates so much space in my mind, being fully in the present moment comes naturally.
At the beginning of the walk to do yoga in that very noisy and busy urban setting proved to be counterproductive and very grounding.
Bodily Traces is an invitation to sense the city in a different way, by being taken by strangers, trusting them, giving your weight to them, finding new sensations, gaining sensorial information, and leaving an invisible trace in the space.
‘Beautiful, such organic group work’
‘The space felt like endless possibilities of sensory research’
‘I was confronted with the realization how rarely we trust others to this extent’
“Meditation, trip, journey”
“It was a spiritual experience”
Shared urban spatial perceptions
