Walk/talk

According to Michel de Certeau the act of walking is connected to the urban system in terms of ennonciation: „The act of walking is to the urban system what the speech act is to language or to the statements uttered.“

Ceel Mogami de Haas and Florent Meng decide to stride along the city of Bucharest during 5 days inviting every day a new person to join them in a walk/talk. This walks, that all last for 6 hours and cover about 20 kilometers, are documented in various ways. The walk/talk project aims at producing new forms when the conventional tools turn out to be inadequate to capture everydayness.
