An appointment between a performer and a spectator at a certain time and place. When they meet, a single rule is set: “We will not talk, but if anything bothers you don’t hesitate to tell me.”
Walk, Hands, Eyes is a silent walk through the streets of a city to experience an entirely new connection between walking, seeing and touching. During the one-hour walk, each performer chooses focal points and moments when they ask the spectator to open their eyes briefly. In such a way they take personal “snapshots” – images within a person’s head. Walk, Hands, Eyes offers everyone the chance to see Medellin from a new perspective – a city they experience every day and usually take for granted.
In her works Lefkowitz mainly deals with the practice of attention and perception. Walk, Hands, Eyes has been presented in different cities worldwide (including New York, Buenos Aires, Stuttgart and Brno) and is adapted individually for each city.
