Tubeline exploration

Me and Zoe followed the Jubilee line to explore London today. We got off at Baker street and set our destination at the south bank since we both think the Thames river is essential to London’s history and identity.

I clipped my go pro camera on my jacket and started recording our journey. I concentrated on what made me stop each time. I stopped in front of the Sherlock Holmes Museum because I saw a large crowd. I stopped for all the street musicians because their voice has the power to pause time and command my attention. I stopped for coffee because I was physically exhausted from walking for 3 hours. I stopped in the Green Park and rested on the chair they put on the meadow and they charged me for using it.

I felt like I was not entirely drifting during this trip since we do have a destination in mind, I was consciously walking towards the bank as we were walking through the city. One thing that is very clear to me is that I love the street performers in London. They have the power to make me stop every single time. I want to make some work about them or for them…
