For the past 2 years Mie Miyamoto, a self-proclaimed street observer, has been digitally recording the daily movements of the London pedestrian, as a means to unlock and expose the city.
Starting at her home in Nathaniel Close, E1, Mie walked a 17.6 kilometre long East-West trek across London concluding in Argyle Road, W13.
She sees the recordings of this journey as a means of "pasting and repairing pavement culture".
The documentation of this passage through the city will be presented in the form of text, photography, drawing and mobile projection, at the Whitechapel Project Space.
To compliment this show, the metho! dology of her project will be taken onto the streets of Tokyo, in order to promote a dialogue between these two global cities and their pedestrian citizens.
*Mie Miyamoto is funded by "The Japanese Government Overseas Study Programme for Artists" from 2000-02
