poem walk 1

my friend ben niespodziany posted something on bluesky a while ago that i said would make a wonderful performance. he gave me permission to use the idea, & i have begun to do so. i feel like it will reveal some interesting relations, & i'm still working out what the traces will be--in other words, how & whether to document each event.

for now, i have started with a simple minimally-edited seven-minute silent video. in it, i write an extemporaneous short poem on the soles of a pair of suitable boots; the poem can be read in either order, left boot to right or right boot to left. i then wear the boots on a walk. i walk the poem into the world, letting it erase itself into the location it engages. the video is not minutely detailed; the point is to walk the poem, not to make a stand-alone video piece.
