About work

The second video deals with the principle of previsions from a different angle: perceiving the future from a spatial point of view. In which directions are we going to move, how will our body react on it? Before my planned journey to Singapur I prepared a walk through the city centre and tried to find out as much information as possible about its spatial relations. I counted how many steps will I need to walk through a certain street and which objects should I be looking at. I executed this prepared walk through Singapur in Prague, in my flat. When I arrived to Singapur, I actually went through that very path. The resulting video is a juxtaposition of a “virtual” and “real” tour through the city.
