Walking Stick

Overview

13 twigs, acting in concert as one body, imitating a stick insect, or a “wal- king stick” as they are known in North America. With slow movements, the walking twigs explore the artist’s apartment. There is something inherently handmade about their disguise, as the individual stick-appendages hang loosely together, and the success of their camouflage depends upon their coordination as they co-operate. The twig is neither entirely ghostly nor entirely physical matter –it is a fiction with three-dimensional features in a real filmed setting.
