While I am parallel

From 30th july till 12th september 2017 I was walking from Vienna to Münster.

It was an experiment to make a route visable through the collection of different proofs of time; analysis, experience and creating. A contrast of the passive presence of the way as an object and the change of lifetime spent on it in spite of its nonexistance.

During my walk it was possible to join me, send letters, drawings,... and I tried to answer during this time to create a kind of invisable net between the fixed route, me walking and the sending person.

I am wondering where the past is living in us as a kind of compressed route of our lifes. There is the time itself as a thing of nonexistence being omnipresent, while different tempi of passages of time become alive in the exchange while several people meet.
