Zen Walking, 2019
Performance
Diren Demir
//
Zen Walking is a meditative technique that has been used for ages by buddhist monks to gain a deeper connection with the mind and body. This old tradition which is generally held for long hours and distances in the nature carried into the city by Diren.
Diren contrasts this disturbing intensity with the rapid flow of people’s daily routine mobility. They aim to make time and space more intense and concentrated by using their body in the public space. Thus, it reveals a perception of time and space that the city people have not experienced before.
