WALK. An intervention into public space in the area of Spitalfields, East London, November 2004.

Frames have been placed across this neighborhood, pointing out local histories, facts and personal associations. A line painted onto the pavement connects the individual frames, creating a continuous path of roughly 1.8 km. In addition, Public Voice Boxes have been attached to specific street corners, allowing the public to express and share thoughts either related to the walk or any other local issues.

Naked Coffee and the Ukulele shop). Check it out!
