WALKING THE WALK
3 chanell video installation
Progression is always the reason of doing something. It sounds perfectly right. However, sometimes, even a walk for exercising the body and relaxation, a destination is necessary for some people. What can be actually satisfied by setting such a target or other countable check points?
The philosophy of Qigong is inspiring. A wisdom of recognizing the force and flow, not really the movement, allows us to realize what is truly natural for each unique body. Can we walk the walk with similar attitudes? And be able to respond to the surroundings with authenticity? Learning how to achieve the latter was perhaps the reason why I was there during a social movement last year in my city. |
