Walking has long been closely associated with thinking and reflection. As the body moves in one of its most natural states, the mind is set free to wander in language and get lost in thoughts.

Walk with me is an interactive installation that invites the audience to join a walk with some white cylindrical objects that move slowly on the sand. On their translucent porcelain bodies messages are inscribed. They share the characteristics of what language can be and become the carriers of the message. They carry weights inside them, and it is this heaviness that brings them forward and makes them write. Through rolling, the text on the porcelain body is imprinted onto the sand beneath it. Its trace of walking is its message. The movement is only activated through the presence of an audience next to it, making the experience a physical and reflective act of discovery.

Walk with me is an intimate moment — the time spent together, and a space of reflection. In walking, all the writing, talking, thinking, sensing, and dreaming merges into being. A kind of being-in-the-world, while being with language.

The project is realized within the framework of a master thesis Walking the Boundary of the Boundless, an exploration of language at its edge through both writing and artistic practice. The edge of language is where the normal uses of language step into the background for other ways of experiencing language to step forward. It is along the edge that language takes its shape, offering a moment of reflection on what language is and how it relates to the rest of the world.
