BLIND WALK —a durational co-walking–

Performance by Adonis Volanakis

 

Curated by the Milena principle- "Made of walking"

 

How do I trust? How can I trust? Does it happen when a stranger and myself cross paths? How can my feet trust another? Meeting a stranger sharing a dream bringing a psychoanalysis chair upright. How do we walk and talk in our dreams?
