21 February – 11 April 2014
Hönggerberg, ETH Zurich
Opening program on Thursday, 20 February 2014:
1pm: Walk through the underground of Hönggerberg
3pm: Round-table discussion on the subject of the walk in art and architecture with Prof. Dr. Philip Ursprung (ETH Zurich), Prof. Armin Linke (HfG Karlsruhe), Prof. Michael Clegg (HfG Karlsruhe), Lorenzo Romito (Stalker) and Giulia Fiocca (Stalker)
"The Walk" is both a study and the upshot of a long-term project at the interface between photography and architecture. The point of departure for this project was an excursion to Italy in October 2012, which brought together students from the Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe (HfG, University of Arts and Design in Karlsruhe, Germany) and the ETH Zurich in close collaboration with Italian creative professionals engaged in the cultural sector. Applying the principle that structures of public space can be laid bare by traversing an area on foot, the group walked across the outlying areas between Naples and Pompeii. As a reflection on and reaction to this walk, the students from ETH's Department of Architecture and HfG’s New Media Art & Photography Department put together an exhibition on the concept of a walk through the underground of Hönggerberg.
