Hey There Kapplow’s “De-Scriptions” included in Walking as Practice Festival at Björkö Konstnod

In response to traversing Björkö Konstnod’s landscape on foot, Kapplow will create “descriptions” of the internal and external discoveries made while walking by intertwining sound recordings, objects gathered on the journey, and writing into experimental texts that can only be fully “read” by engaging the hands, the ears, the whole body…

Kapplow is experimenting with ways to share understanding or to tell stories that let language dissolve into and return from nature, instead of replacing it.

The object-stories that emerge, with artifacts from the environment that they are describing embedded throughout them require a kind of “reading” that includes experiencing their decomposition as part of their story.
