The performance at Malamut Festival in Ostrava was a silent almost unnoticed walk among visitors and other performers. Slowly I left backpack, shoes, cap, coat, pullover on the floor in the garden, next to an other performance happening in the same time inside, on a chair next to people drinking/eating... Maybe they saw me, maybe they didn't. The idea was to catch their attention but only if they pay attention to their moving environment. It was also a thought about lost things, which people forget and leave behind, some one could have taken some of my belongings if he would have considered the found object as worthy.

It was also a walk of contemplation, of everything what surrounds me. I just arrived in Czech Republic and needed this first time of observation about who and what is around me : the people, the buildings, the post-apocalyptic garden, the lines to walk on, those on the floor and those to follow by the sight on the walls. Silent is the traveller who has to read in peoples minds in order to understand their language. 45 min during  which I walked and also established eye contact with an other performer.

I can relate as having been a living shadow.
