Scenes on the street, photos of different shoes of various people in line with a colorful position marker with numbers, indicating latitude and longitude. In addition to this, there is a barely visible grasshopper, almost like an archetypal signature.
The shoes and feet are going somewhere, even though they are resting. Who are these persons? Where are they going? And in what context? Behind the artist duo Aguirre & Jonsson’s work lie deeper existential questions.
The series depict people’s lower legs and shoes, they’re walking, sitting or just standing in places somewhere. Everywhere in this life, people are on their way somewhere. Two young girls were standing in front of the artworks in our Gallery, trying to put their feet and shoes into exactly the same positions as those in one of the images on the wall.
They were mimicking, trying to see if they could get into the same position, inspired and amused by the effort of imitating some of the strange and unusual poses of the artwork. All the time they were laughing and giggling. It was fun, it was art motivating young people wanting just to let the body see how it felt.
