Abstract

Walking as a scholarly subject and artistic practice has gathered significant attention in a past decade. Drawing on work of Walter Benjamin and contemporary walking art practices, the paper attempts to present a montage of Three Walks. It takes you on a journey through fragments of modernity in Berlin and Paris, the Great Wall Walk in China, and the student performance on the pedestrian bridge in Ljubljana.
