I've been wearing a 3 piece walking suit since January, first exploring the city of Barcelona on foot, then travelling through Europe slowly like a travelling saleswoman, carrying an old suitcase with memories embroidered in the pockets of found clothing items. In October I am walking from Spain to the Climate Conference in Paris. I will meet people on my journey, collect new stories. You can follow my process here or even better, meet me on the road.

Pocket Memory Shop
I opened a Pocket Memory Shop in Gràcia, Barcelona. People could buy found clothing items in which I embroidered my Barcelona memories or just wander through the clothes forest and look at the installation. You can read all about it HERE

stains
I
found a pair of green trousers in a laundromat. They had been washed
and abandoned, the stains hadn’t come out, they covered most of the
right leg.
I took them home. I’ve got a soft spot for stains. They are like islands in a sea of ordinariness, messing things up, happy reminders.

new old shoes
I made a mistake today. I was wearing my old shoes, walking the city,
waiting for things to fall in place. Everything went wrong. Small
things, nothing to worry about. It makes you wonder though.
Just now I remembered the shoes I found last week next to a garbage container. I was on my way to a dance party. I found a pair of shoes, I took them for my Pocket Memory shop, never even checking the size, from the look of them they seemed far too big for me. That same night exactly at midnight an old nomadic dancing friend from Bulgaria showed up on the dance floor. Around 3 she disappeared. I danced on with somebody else, three times he asked me why I was in Barcelona. Three times I answered “because of the blue sky”. He never asked my name. I didn’t ask for his. He disappeared as well. I went home when the birds were waking up. The next day the sky turned black and big hail stones covered the streets.

The sky was cloudy
today but I did see the sun getting smaller and bigger again. But it
didn’t really. It stayed the same. Other things changed, moved.
Tonight I returned to my safe dark cave in the galery where I live. I have to make some decisions. Where to go. What to do. I just tried on the shoes I found. They are a perfect fit. So here I am, in my full moon dress on a dark moon night, connecting dots.
New shoes. Let’s see what happens now.
