Dávid Somló: Ringing

For me the most difficult thing of the recent period was my unfocused state, to where I was pushed by the feeling of losing control of the events of my life. Hence for my five hour walk, I have chosen a precisely followable, meditative task. Slowly walking, I will continuously ring bells in a precisely set downtown route for 5 hours. I will play on 5 different bells, while I will be accompanied with slowly changing, continuous harmonies coming from a portable speaker, changing the urban soundscape. The sounds are following me as the saliva follows the snail. Few days before the walk I will publish the precise route and timing and I welcome anyone to join me.
