Footpaths
Four 15′ walking performances
Black ink on 285 g. FabrianoRosaspina paper 100 x 70 cm, 2′ video
Rules:
The participant of the action selects an area of public space and defines a specific time period.
The perimeter of this predefined space is then circled in a clockwise fashion.
When an outsider visible to the participant enters the perimeter, the participant must immediately attempt to reach the outsider’s point of intrusion.
If the perimeter is further breached during the attempt to reach the initial intruder’s entry point, this subsequent point becomes the new target.
Once an intrusion point is reached, the participant continues circling the perimeter until either a further intruder enters or the time limit is reached.
Finally a drawing is generated; a testimony to the footpath experience.

53 lines made of 5 points
Zestafoni, Georgia
October 15th – October 18th 2013
2,40 m. x 85 m.
This is the second time I ran this random wall painting experiment; it was executed for the first time – statically – in Bari, Italy and was called 8 Linee attraverso 4 Punti.
For this second attempt, the painting expanded to the right. Each line was made of 4 segments passing through 5 randomly positioned points on a plane (1,6 x 2,8 m. vertically centered on the wall). Once the X and Y coordinates were generated, the 5 points were marked on the wall, joined together from 1 to 5 and the segments were painted with one of the 8 randomly selected colors. Then the plane was moved 2/3 of its length to the right and the next set of segments was generated. In four days, we managed to paint 53 figures.

This project was made possible thanks to Zestafoni Ferroalloy Plant, Tamara Bokuchava (socialphotocaucasus.org), Nini Palavandishvili (geoair.blogspot.com) and George Okruashvili.
