Power Walks​​

2026 (ongoing)

​

In the ongoing participatory performance series Power Walks, high-voltage power lines become scores for movements beyond familiar, “walkable” infrastructures. The attempt to follow the course of the power lines as precisely as possible through walking breaks with habitual patterns of movement and opens up an altered perception of landscape and the lived body.

​

The movement through space is recorded via GPS, leaving behind a two-dimensional drawing that persists beyond the ephemerality of walking. Through its deviations from the course of the power lines, it makes visible the limits of movement taking place outside infrastructures designed for human passage. A “queer” interpretation of the movement score emerges.

​

Power Walks have already been performed in various locations, both within and outside Germany.
