Running on all fours has always been a fascination to me. I pursued fluidity to where I would outrun a walking pace. The dark figure in frame coincidentally walking behind my tiny figure became an anchor point and challenger in this pursuit.
Dreams were a key to finetuning the technique. I practiced the finer details of the locomotion while I was asleep; lucid-dreaming of running on all fours. Doing so allowed me to ‘turn off gravity’ and ‘slow down time’ to master this quadrupedal thread.
Performing in public space allows for the moment to co-create the happening. The people around me become both witness and performer. Playing outside eleviates me from the burden of total control.
