Marshes : A walk for one
Hackney Marshes, London 2013
Invisible Topographies I & II
ALTOfest, Naples Italy 2013
Rifrazioni, Anzio & Nettuno Italy 2010
A blindfolded walk where a single participant is taken for twenty minutes on a narrated journey, encouraged to delve into a waking dream, encountering the peoples, stories, rumours, and whispers that inhabit the surrounding architecture. A combination of observations, conversations, memories and philosophical enquiries all inspired by interviews with local people, psychogeographic studies of the site and creative interpretations of the locale.
Is they city what it seems? What happens when we stop taking it for granted and put ourselves in the vulnerable position of using our imagination publicly…
Taking Root
Camden Arts Centre, London 2011
A blind-folded group walk where participants were led into unexplored areas of the wild eges of the arts centre and narrated and story where the space lost all its innocence and meaning.
Commissioned by Erect Architecture as part of the redevelopment of the wildlife boudaries of the arts centre's outdoor green space for the event Taking Root: Taking Part.

Everyman: London
4th Plinth Trafalgar Square, London 2009
Death: Nay, thereto I will not consent, Nor no man will I respite, But to the heart suddenly I shall smite Without any advisement.
Everyman; Alas, I may well weep with sighs deep; Now have I no manner of companyTo help me in my journey, and me to keep;And also my writing is full unready.How shall I do now for to excuse me?
A performance of the death of the everyman as performed on Antony Gormley's Fourth PLinth Commission:
