Walk

The artist book Walk is comprised of all the inputs for the word (and related phrases) Walk in The Oxford English Dictionary, 1989 edition. Each input has been given a page to slow down the attention on each particular item in the way that dictionary layout doesn’t allow.

The work revolves around the idea of political and artistic potential of walking, stemming from linguistic and cultural meaning(s) of the word. Walk up (to rebel), Walking papers (to get fired) etc. Book can be used as a source-book of ideas for other artworks based around the idea of walking.
