On December 18, 2016, at 15:00 GMT we, Alisa Oleva, Irina Danilova and Andrew McNiven and Frans van Lent, met at 111 Cannon Street, London, UK .

We established that the building, that protected the London Stone for so long, is now in a process of demolition.
The London Stone is temporarily displaced to the Museum of London.

Each of us looked for a small piece of stone or a pebble on the pavement.
When we found a stone, we put it in our pocket and we left for a walk to the museum of our personal choice:

-Alisa walked to the Institute of Contemporary Arts (exhibition: Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2016).
-Andrew walked to the British Museum (exhibition: Museum Collection, Egyptian section).
-Irina walked to the Museum of London (exhibition: ‘Pleasure Gardens’, media installation).
-Frans walked to the Tate Britain (exhibition: Turner Prize 2016).

When we arrived, each of us entered the museum and unnoticeably added the stone to the chosen exhibition.

On October 12, at 15:00 CEST I left my home in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, and walked in a western direction. At exactly that same moment Elia Torrecilla left her home in Valencia, Spain, and walked in a western direction.
When Elia changed direction (left or right) she texted me and I followed that direction as soon as possible. When I changed direction, I texted her and she followed me. We synchronised our walks as precise as possible.

Our Parallel Walk ended around 16:00 CEST, very close to the points of departure.

About Scenes:
On this website and on Facebook I announce small events that will take place at a certain location and at a certain moment in the near future.
Everybody is invited to be at the exact spot at the exact time to contribute to the scene with his/her own simultaneous activity (or inactivity).

A Scene #5a (in cooperation with Ienke Kastelein)
On Saturday April 23, 2016 I was standing in front of a butcher’s shopwindow at Meent 67a (51.923001N 4.4839874E). In my left hand I had the dog leash, my dog sat next to me. In my right hand I carried a red shopping bag, full of groceries. At exactly 14:20 CET I noticed a woman leaving a shoe store at the opposite side of the street. I recognised her and called her name (Ienke). She looked in my direction, smiled, waved her left hand. I put down my bag and waved back. I watched her walking hastily in the direction of the Binnerotte. She turned right and got out of sight.

A Scene #5b (by Ienke Kastelein)
On Saturday April 23, 2016 I was at Pim Sneakers Store at Meent 50 (51.922859N 4.484160E) looking for a pair of red sneakers size 39 or 40. I wore a red coat and walked with a black cane. At exactly 14:20 CET I left the store. Someone called my name. When I looked around I saw a man with a dog standing in front of a butcher’s shop on the opposite side of the street. I recognised the man (Frans). I smiled and waved at him with my left hand. I continued walking hastily in the direction of the Binnerotte. I didn’t look back; I turned right to the Binnerotte and walked on.

On Saturday 23 July 2016 I was walking in Forêt Barade, near Rouffignac in the South of France.
I published an invitation to call me on that day between 13:00 and 14:00 (CEST).
When the telephone rang I did not answer the call but instead I made a photo of what I was looking at on that moment.
I then sent the photo to the number that showed up on my phone. Continue reading →

At the end of a conversation,
repeat that same conversation backwards.
stop at the beginning.
