invigilator
Minutes after I received an invitation to Walk to Work from Kevin Ryan and Paul Conneally, I had to travel to the gallery where I was employed as an invigilator. This is what I wrote down as I walked:
Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Straight over, Straight over, Straight over, Right, Delay of 32 minutes, Right, Left, Left, Right, Left, Right, Straight over, Straight over, Straight over, Straight over, Left, Left.
Invigilator is therefore a series of alternative work shifts performed after transposing my journey of that day onto different locations. Distilled into its essence: the simple act of watching-over.
Or, as Paul put it:
the spaces
transform us
and in turn
are transformed
