David Helbich: WALK 4

WALK 4 was composed and performed in November 2006 by David Helbich and Christophe Meierhans.
During the TEMPORARY INSTITUTE it was 're-walked' January 2007 with Christoph Ragg (on the video) replacing Chr.Meirhans.

WALK 4 is a 45 minutes walk with two groups through the metro-station Art-Loi in Brussels.

We didn't talk during the walk. The two groups were created with a 'special effect'.
On the base of this public choreography lies a complex composition and a ticket to ride...

Check out the super documentation with comments from C.Meierhans spoken by Joanna Bailie. Montage by myself.
