THE WADERS

Women walk on the beach, in the forest, through cities. They can't catch up with themselves even though their feet step on their own shadows. Spatial orientation, immobility and movement have lost their usual stability. Balance is to be found between breathing, flow of words, footprints and shadows.

    A woman walks on the beach, in the forest, in the cities, without being able to catch up with herself eventhough her feet step on her own shadow. Her pace makes the ground move more than the body and reverses the space bench marks. Balance is to be found between breathing, the flow of the words, footprints and shades.
