To Actuate a walk Correctly, digital print, 100 x 140 cm

To Actuate a Walk Correctly, it's an attempt to follow a fixed rule perfectly. The rule consists of
walk along the same straight path in 4.30 min, to move by the same pace, to breathe in a constant
interval, by each thirty seconds capturing with camera the landscape that opens up to the eyes.
Performing this as smoothly as possible, and after 4.30 minutes, begin again from the same starting
point.
Rule – law, principle, norm, established procedure for the achievement of the result. The pursuit of
a given formula should lead to the successful accomplishment of a job.
But what if the rule is just a reference to one of the many possible solutions and the result remains
unpredictable? What if following the rule several times, the result stays always variant.
