Performance, 2006<\/p>\n

I decided to try to put myself in other peoples shoes. \u00a0I documented this endeavor on a blog<\/a> titled, “In Your Shoes.” \u00a0Participants chose a pair of shoes to lend me for a day and I documented my experience in photographs and writing. \u00a0I went several weeks without wearing my own shoes and occasionally still try this. \u00a0I also tried approaching people on the street to ask if they would like to trade shoes for a little while as I walked with them towards their destination. \u00a0Surprisingly, many people were willing.<\/p>\n

This project seeks to explore and test a common idiom by enacting it literally, playing with language and the possibility of (failed) gesture.<\/p>\n
