Abstract

For one, walking does not provide the speed-induced high of airplane travel or accelerating cars on the highway and all the consumptive, resource-wasting realities of these faster modes of transport. I Walking the forest imaginary: a breath between us (2019) i is a permanent site-specific audio artwork in Alingsås Nolhaga Park in Sweden that regards the ancient and present role of moss in creating oxygen and storing carbon. I The Conversation i also reveals the action of moss in building stratigraphic soil layers over time, the very earth we walk on. [Extracted from the article]
