BeschreibungThis research project is focused on the act of walking as an artistic practice and as a method to trace the historical development of the bordersmof Zürich within the present landscape. This has been done by a series of speculative walks that have followed the paths of the borders in five different moments in time: starting with the Last Glacial Maximum (24,000 years ago), when the entire area except the Üetliberg was covered in ice, up to the zweite Stadtvereinigung in 1934 (present day borders). In these walks the intention has been to create a connection betweenpast and present, looking for traces or fragments (objects, places, situations, sounds, images, etc.) within the landscape that allow to construct a new cartography that entangles these different moments and delves deeper into alternative narratives of the city of Zürich. The artistic outcome has been a lecture-performance that constructs a non-chronological narrative through the development of the borders of the city of Zurich. Objects and places highlight unknown or little known parts of the history of the city and of how the center has related to the borders and what has been beyond. The text uses three languages and a lost sociolect to explore the nuances of translation of language and experience. Using video, sound, projected images, traces/paper casts of objects and collected objects that unfold from a cardboard box; an ephemeral installation is slowly constructed that engages with layers of shadows, maps and traces of the pathway found through the city.
