I threw a simple idea in the air. To walk from my house in Amsterdam to the Nomadic Village 2013 in the south of France and invite people to support me in any way they like and symbolically walk with me. Choose a day, give me something to walk with and in return I embroider your name in my 3 piece walking suit, my “uniform” and walk with you on my mind on that day. 40 days surviving on the road, sharing with people, collecting stories, writing them down online with the help of my solar powered iPad.
I was amazed and touched by all the people who signed up and who gave me money, poetry, inspiring thoughts, food, addresses of friends and assignments for their day. I walked in the memory of deceased parents, celebrated birthdays, consumed only yellow , for a day, took over the worries of a pregnant soon to be mother, explored the sacred, wrote haikus, built beacons and fulfilled many other wishes and requests.
In the Nomadic Village I started a Memory Shop, embroidering peoples’ memories in other peoples’ pockets.
