Brooklyn Bridge

Brooklyn Bridge
For “Brooklyn Bridge”, I met up with Chiara Bernasconi, whom I had never met and we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. She had walked it once before. I never had. We spoke some of Elastic City walks, but more of the make up of the bridge itself-- the wooden planks, the details in the architecture, the fairly easy access a jumper would have, Governor's Island, Flux Factory bus tours, Marina Abramovic's exhibition at MoMA, etc. It was a walk with no set agenda. A cleansing of the palate for me after months of planning walks and starting the company.

At the end of the walk, Chiara had an unsolicited suggestion-- that I keep continuing with these walks over the bridge and change it up each time-- different hour/theme, etc. It was a perfect way to end the walk--> she moved the walk into its next incarnation. I'll ask Chiara to collaborate with me in conceptualizing the next walk and we'll see what happens.

Thank you for an inspiring walk. The bridge is such a powerful and poetic presence. I think it would be interesting to cross the bridge at night and focus on light (in addition to sound)- a sort of Nuit Blanche sleepless night inspired walk. I also wonder how it feels very early in the morning, at dawn. I know it takes some commitment, but that will make the experience even more special for the brave ones.
