In 2006/2007 I participated in the program Field Studies – public art in Russian, Scandinavian and Finnish artist in St.Petersburg. It was produced by the National center for contemporary art, St.Petersburg branch and I contributed with my piece Re-arranged Movement (1999).

The performative piece was executed in the passages of the Art Center Pushkinskaya 10 in St. Petersburg.

Paths Rearranged
People are always moving through spaces and levels of consciousness. In the city signs are telling You where to go and how to organize Yourself to others. We are often very well coordinated to meet the demands of the city. Both to make our movements fit economically in this environment and to keep up the feeling that we are free to make individual selections of directions in the city and life.

Movement takes time and effort and, therefore, it’s important to measure the shortest way between two places. That measurement is, however, often deformed by the shifting variables (physical or mental) for city travel.
