Location: starts at Rozenstraat 59

 

In this participatory performance, participants follow a route through Amsterdam using audio instructions left by a previous participant while walking, like a game of Chinese whispers. The route instructions become increasingly personal and chaotic. As they walk, they negotiate with themselves and the city through words. Each hour, one participant can begin the tour, as instructed by the previous participant.

Bio

PolakVanBekkum is a Dutch artist duo consisting of Esther Polak and Ivar van Bekkum, specializing in digital media, film installation art and drawing. Rooted in the rich history of traditional Dutch realistic landscape depiction, they embrace modern technologies like GPS data collection and Google Earth and classical drawing techniques to map out the choreographies of daily mobility. Their interactive, experimental projects often explore the poetics of movement through time and space, tracking the journeys of humans, animals, and objects. Based alternately in Amsterdam and rural Gelderland, the duo has exhibited globally, and their films have been screened at Dutch and international film festivals.
