video 21:23 min ‘Walking Essay’ by PolakVanBekkum. The world in which this essay takes place is Google Earth: an alienating landscape of almost seamlessly stitched-together satellite images. The stage of the walk, a utopian apartment building in Amsterdam’s Bijlmer neighborhood, seems warped and flattened and competes for attention with the black weirdness of its own shadows. During a repetitive walk around the building, Polak uses Judith Butler’s ideas on the performativity of gender and applies them to the city space, exploring different possibilities of what she calls ‘Move-Categories’ and ‘Move-Drag’. The City as Performative Object is walked and spoken by Esther Polak. It was executed through conversation in and around the Hakford building in the Bijlmer. Photo: Esther Polak |
