Ways of walking (gaits) are among the most distinctively individual human movement patterns – almost like fingerprints. Through the sound of footsteps they become audible for us; the regularity with which we place one foot in front of the other generates our unique rhythm.

Go your gait! – (part 2) studies on the public square is a video-sound installation in which the video becomes the score. Like an outsider, the viewer observes the happenings in Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt. Protagonists go their own ways, leaving behind visible and audible traces that begin to blend – merging with or counterpointing each other – and once again fade away. The rhythms and structures that momentarily arise through the individual gaits encode the public square in that moment, before the space again opens up for new impressions.

Go your gait! – the heading denotes a constantly growing series of projects that articulates the individuality of our ways of walking and the traces they leave in public space.
