Honouring Esther. Documentary materials from the two cycles of walks, Somerset, UK 2015 and Lower Saxony, Germany 2016.

Project Outline: The route of a Nazi Death March traced and transposed to Somerset, returned and re-traced in Lower Saxony, Germany. Experimentation with media and juxtaposed registers of walking forms part of Richard White’s investigation of walking art as social justice intervention. Social media. Curated media. Somatic activity. Honouring Esther accessed formal and informal survivor testimony of a Nazi death march.

This item contains documentation of the live phase of the walks:
