During a residency we created a walking path that connects the remote arts centre OZU to the nearby village called Poggio Moiano, in the Sabina region north east of Rome.

Walking and culture?
Due to local politics related to property development (building a hotel or shopping centre in the midst of olive plantations and wild land) we decided to use the title 'Vote with the Feet' as the trajectory of our path geographically crossed those plans. We used the rite and right to revive old walking paths of the local community. Walking as a practice is not as established in Italy as it is in the north of Europe. People use mopeds and cars on the road, extra roads or paths for pedestrians are not common infrastructure. In this context our project was met by many with raised eyebrows.
